That it, it just, it feels like peering into the past in this very visceral, organic way.
Jesse NussmanHOST
Whereas I think when we get to something like, you know, J. Edgar, for instance, like, it really just starts to feel like, okay, d- does, does homie just, like, not understand color grading? Like, this just looks like-

Jesse NussmanHOST
... a piece of gray plastic.
Justin LarcoGUEST
And for me, I kind of feel like Changeling is... you know, maybe Changeling Gran Torino is the pivot point.
Justin LarcoGUEST
To me, Changeling feels so much of a piece with all of these, you know, like J. Edgar and an American sniper, Sully, 1517 in Paris, these things which are about real people and where he's like telling these stories.
Justin LarcoGUEST
Right from the headlines.
Justin LarcoGUEST
Yeah, exactly.
ThomasHOST
I saw it in theaters.
ThomasHOST
I'm not sure why, because I could have watched War Horse or J. Edgar, Ghost Rider Spirit of Vengeance or four other Nicolas Cage films in 2011.
ThomasHOST
Actually, no, it makes sense why I watched this.
ThomasHOST
Why? Because it wasn't War Horse or Ghost Rider Spirit of Vengeance or four other Nicolas Cage films in 2011.
ThomasHOST
J. Edgar's pretty good.
ThomasHOST
and actually I would defend ghost writer too as well.
ThomasHOST
Uh, but, um, I had always heard, uh, terrible things about Margaret Thatcher and mainly from British comics from the late seventies, eighties.
John ReedHOST
No, I have not.
John ReedHOST
Or J. Edgar? Wait a minute.
John ReedHOST
No.
John ReedHOST
I am blown away by that.
Harvey BrownstoneHOST
I'm Harvey Brownstone, and today's special guest making his second appearance on our show has been dazzling audiences since we first fell in love with him in his portrayal of Marcus Henderson on the classic TV sitcom The Jeffersons.
Harvey BrownstoneHOST
He's delivered memorable performances in great movies like Three Days of the Condor, White Men Can't Jump, J. Edgar, Sweetwater, and Velvet Jesus, to name only a few.
Harvey BrownstoneHOST
And he made the whole world take notice when he became the first and only Black actor to co-star with the legendary Betty Davis in the groundbreaking 1980 TV movie, White Mama.
Harvey BrownstoneHOST
And most recently, his heart-wrenching performance as Louis Cloverfield in the blockbuster TV series, The Pit, has earned him a well-deserved Emmy Award.
