Georgia OakleyGUEST
I love filmmakers like...
Georgia OakleyGUEST
I guess there's also a naturalism that I'm drawn to and I love filmmakers like Chantal Ackerman and Kelly Reichardt and...
Georgia OakleyGUEST
Yeah, I mean, I have all sorts of influences.
Georgia OakleyGUEST
It's hard to say exactly, but...
Andrew PearceHOST
Yeah, that's so good.
Andrew PearceHOST
I love that answer as well because it makes me think of watching Wendy and Lucy, Kelly Reichardt's Wendy and Lucy for the first time.
Andrew PearceHOST
And there's a scene at night when she goes to sleep by the river and any other person would light her up, right, to see what she's thinking, what she's feeling.
Andrew PearceHOST
But she's drenched in darkness and that just makes it feel a little bit more sinister or a little bit more unsettling because you don't know what's going to happen to her.
Andrew PearceHOST
Yeah, that's so good.

Olivia HetreedGUEST
Because I think if you look at some of the fantastic films that women writers and women filmmakers have made in the last few years.
Olivia HetreedGUEST
If you think of Celine Shama or Chloe Zhao or Greta Gerwig, Kelly Reichardt, all sorts of people making such interesting films, which are different and significantly give you a different view of the world.
Olivia HetreedGUEST
So it's not just about giving women jobs.
Olivia HetreedGUEST
It's about giving everybody the chance to see a different point of view.
SamuelHOST
Instead of everyone.
SamuelHOST
And I increasingly kind of feel like Kelly Reichardt movies are that but cinema.
HenryHOST
For the 10,000 sickos like me.
SamuelHOST
Yeah, where it's just unapologetically supposed to be the best thing for these people, not good for everybody who watches it.
7 MINS LATER
SamuelHOST
people just want to be in her movies.
SamuelHOST
Like, we said his name and did not fully investigate the fact that Andre 3K of OutKast, who probably has all the money, was like, you know what I want to do? Yeah.
SamuelHOST
I really want to have a relevant part in a Kelly Reichardt movie.
SamuelHOST
not only that did you see the
Jose AcevedoGUEST
But then when I'm like making something for myself that I'm going to write and direct, it always just veers towards drama because like I feel like.
Jose AcevedoGUEST
when I think of myself as a fan of movies, not as someone who's like works in face, I think about like dramas, like my favorite directors are like Martin Scorsese, my father, uh, and, and then like, but also like Kelly Reichardt and Sidney Lumet and Claire Denis, like, and Barry Jenkins, like are very much the people whose movies I watched that I'm like, how can I how can I figure out how to do that and make something so slow where the story is like in the pictures and not necessarily in dialogue.
Jose AcevedoGUEST
And so this new show was very much an exercise in that just thinking about like Claire Denis and Kelly Reichardt and like, and Barry Jenkins and like, can I try and basically imitate people that I really love? And so always when I sit down at a blank page, I'm like, maybe I'll try and write a comedy this time.
Jose AcevedoGUEST
And like, then when it comes out, it's like a dark drama.
Jose AcevedoGUEST
Which is like, it was so funny and weird because then when I write like a half hour script, I write comedies because that's like sort of like, again, like as like someone who's like studies comedy, I'm like, oh, I understand how the pressure works.
6 MINS LATER
Jose AcevedoGUEST
This is a fun exercise.
Jose AcevedoGUEST
And so I wanted to do a movie about food, started thinking about my favorite food movies, and then kind of thought about how the movie we're going to talk about is also just one of my favorite movies, like, full stop.
Jose AcevedoGUEST
It's probably, like, a top 10 for me and also is a perfect... movie in the sense that it is kind of like some of those directors I was talking about, you know, like a like a Kelly Reichardt, where it's like very methodical and like, you know, some might call it slow, you know, although it's not, you know, to talk about like slow cinema.
Katie WalshPANELIST
And there are a couple of real nail-biter sequences in The Wait that kind of get as sort of nerve-wracking as that sequence in Sorcerer.
Katie WalshPANELIST
And then First Cow, which is the Kelly Reichardt movie from 2020, which is about... 1820s Oregon and friendship and French pastries and it's sort of like in the 1930s there's it's sort of the logical end point of sort of like you know it's in the Great Depression it's like westward expansion capitalism corruption these guys are you know convicts but they're not really criminals and this journey is what turns them into criminals in a way because it's so arduous and so they realize that they're being betrayed and backstabbed in a lot of ways and They go into it with, you know, sort of, oh, we're going to get our freedom at the end of this.
Katie WalshPANELIST
And none of them have really done anything all that bad to end up in this prison labor camp.
Katie WalshPANELIST
But it's got this real authenticity to it.
HenryHOST
I don't know where they get the frying oil for this, but, you know, they're able to make it work.
HenryHOST
Where do we start with this movie? I feel like there is a theme in this movie that has been a part of Kelly Reichardt's career to a certain extent, but is maybe more paramount in this movie, more central in this movie than the others, and that theme is friendship.
SamuelHOST
Yep.
HenryHOST
That theme is, is kindness, is community, is this, uh, this burgeoning relationship between these two guys that might be sexual, might not be.
10 MINS LATER
HenryHOST
[laughs] Beaver ass, right.
HenryHOST
Okay.
HenryHOST
So as you might imagine, this movie is based on a book written by frequent Kelly Reichardt collaborator, Jon Raymond.
HenryHOST
This is actually his first book, I think, and it was the first thing of his that Kelly ever read.
Rebecca SchinskyHOST
...
Rebecca SchinskyHOST
but also, like, does Kelly Reichardt just want to adapt that into a script and do some vignettes?
Jeff O'NealHOST
Oh, that's great.
Jeff O'NealHOST
I love that idea.
Jedidiah AyresGUEST
the feeling of the last 15 years for me in america that's you know uh nobody the two classes that understand capitalism and understand american democracy the best are the uber rich and the very poor yeah you know and uh they understand it so well uh and and you know the the Obviously, one of them has power and the other does not.
Jedidiah AyresGUEST
But I love Macon Blair as well as people like Jeremy Saulnier and David Gordon Green, Kelly Reichardt, Jody Hill.
Jedidiah AyresGUEST
Make these movies about people in the cracks,
