James FreedmanGUEST
It's too much of a setup.
James FreedmanGUEST
Are you going for the Ellen Burstyn, the David Sondra? For your listeners, you know, they have pre-interviews, obviously, for these talk shows.
James FreedmanGUEST
And David Sondra was the guest host.
James FreedmanGUEST
And Charles Gordon had been in a smash Broadway play, which I got to see as a kid on Broadway and with Ellen Burstyn, same time next year.
James FreedmanGUEST
And to this day, one of the greatest nights I've ever had in a theater.
James FreedmanGUEST
And they made a movie of it, Alan Burksman starred in it, but they chose Charles Gordon's friend, Alan Alda, to be the male lead, not him.
James FreedmanGUEST
This is the first time he's hearing it.
James FreedmanGUEST
And he goes, what do you mean I wasn't chosen to be in the film? I was great in the play.
James L. FreedmanGUEST
And the reason I chose Charles Grodin is because I'd always been a fan.
James L. FreedmanGUEST
I had seen him as a kid on Broadway in same time next year with Ellen Burstyn, one of the greatest nights I still had ever had in the theater.
James L. FreedmanGUEST
And I read his books and I had seen The Heartbreak Kid when it came out.
James L. FreedmanGUEST
And I just loved the guy, you know, but I didn't know anything about him personally.
James L. FreedmanGUEST
Some people will say Grodin was able to get me.
James L. FreedmanGUEST
And some people, like I called Carl Martin short, and he loved Chuck from Clifford and couldn't wait to do it.
James L. FreedmanGUEST
Ellen Burstyn was very similar to that.
James L. FreedmanGUEST
There were people, they're not coming on this film because of me.
James FreedmanGUEST
It's too much of a setup.

Chuck BryantHOST
I don't know if it's very well known or not, but it surprised me that both of us had it in our list.
Chuck BryantHOST
That was Martin Scorsese's Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore, starring Ellen Burstyn.
Chuck BryantHOST
I found that funny.
Matt SargentHOST
Yeah.
Matt SargentHOST
Well, you know, in researching the films, I've never seen that before, to be honest with you.
Matt SargentHOST
I've never seen the movie.
Matt SargentHOST
But in doing the research, I'm like, this really intrigues me, especially because Ellen Burstyn, I think she's a great actress.
Matt SargentHOST
So I'm excited to see her in a role.
Kyle BruehlHOST
We will discuss Barbara Loden, her performance in Wanda later on.
Kyle BruehlHOST
But also Ellen Burstyn in Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore and Scorsese's great movie.
Kyle BruehlHOST
A very underrated picture.
Kyle BruehlHOST
You know, it's a daring look at femininity and this, you know, this disassociated nature and the mechanism of self-absolution that she is... holding on to and she's just fascinating in the role and you feel every bit of her her need that's the undercurrent of what's driving her in this road movie that is going nowhere she doesn't know where she's going she just needs to drive she needs to go have momentum and it's a fascinating look at somebody who is feeling just out of out of their own head out of their own place and so she is she is fascinating in this movie i wanted to get your thoughts on natalie how shirley knight plays her or introduces us to her and her plight what moved you what convinced you in her characterization in the beginning like how did you feel about it
Jason MylesHOST
Similar things happened to a young Linda Blair, who also was wearing a harness.
Jason MylesHOST
I believe there was a scene where he freaking didn't believe Burstyn looked scared enough, so he shot a gun.

Carolina SaludesHOST
Exactly.
Carolina SaludesHOST
And there's a lot of sort of, is that, it's playing with, is this actual Ellen Burstyn in a different form, right? They play a lot of like, what is an illusion and what isn't an illusion and filmmaking as witchcraft and magic and like all of that kind of stuff which these days has been done so much that you're like it's a bit hokey but at the time it would have been like oh there's a referential thing it's great but the white house is mentioned explicitly so that you don't forget that you are it kind of adjacent to the seat of power and i like that it's not specifically dc it's like georgetown which has like a sort of gothic-esque nature to it if you walk around georgetown it hasn't changed very much because it's so rich the nimbism reigns supreme it's like all the houses look exactly
Robin McGheeHOST
georgetown is exactly like that yes i mean and i think it's a very beautiful part of dc gorgeous

And it was a big movie and with a blockbuster character who, of course, is alive and could be around to endorse her and all of that.
