Description

Len shares a touching story about cartoonist Robb Armstrong (Jump Start) and his connection with Peanuts and gives his TOP 5 Dumb Superhero Movies, in honor of Thor: Love and Thunder. Vincent loves Tyra Ferrell but 30-40s star Claude Rains doesn't easily compute in his D'Urville-centric mind. And CHAMELEON STREET is the indy film that could, though there's an argument over whether or not it did.

'Don't Look Now' with 'Untogether' Director Emma Forrest: What a fascinating episode we have in store for you this week. We are so lucky to be joined by writer/director, Emma Forrest. Emma has lived a life. She started out as very young journalist in London, when at the age of 15, she wrote a lauded story on Madonna for The Sunday Times, which prompted her to leave school at 16 to become a full-time writer for the Times. In 1998, she moved into writing fiction with the publication of her novel Namedropper. From there Emma began writing screenplays, selling one to Plan B, another to Miramax, and subsequently being named by Variety as one of the "Top Ten Screenwriters to Watch in 2009." Emma, however, has taken her screenwriting into her own hands and in 2018 debuted her first feature, Untogether, at the TriBeca Film Festival. Untogether stars Jemima and Lola Kirke, Ben Mendelsohn, Jamie Dornan, and Billy Crystal, and tells the story of two sisters in the middle of their own artistic and by Switchblade Sisters
