Linda HolmesHOST
I find it such a kind of an affable show to hang out with.
Linda HolmesHOST
I think that in addition to having a mystery that I find pretty compelling, you know, it starts off with the death of this character who's, you know, you don't, you wouldn't expect to see very much of him since he dies at the beginning, but he's played by Tim Blake Nelson, and he does-
Glen WeldonHOST
Hmm
Linda HolmesHOST
... continue to make appearances as sort of a vision.
Linda HolmesHOST
And in that Tim Blake Nelson way kind of gives, imparts wisdom to Ethan Hawke-
Glen WeldonHOST
Yeah
Linda HolmesHOST
... and that part I really like.
13 MINS LATER
Glen WeldonHOST
Right
Brian DuffieldGUEST
John gets haloed.
Brian DuffieldGUEST
Um- Uh, and gets put into, like, Tim Blake Nelson's jail.
Brian DuffieldGUEST
And Tim Blake Nelson, as he's putting-
Eric VespeHOST
Right
Brian DuffieldGUEST
... him down goes, um, "They say you...
Brian DuffieldGUEST
So the theory is, like, Cruise is...
Brian DuffieldGUEST
Gets haloed.
Brian DuffieldGUEST
Tim Blake Nelson goes, "You know, they say everyone's dreams come true when they're in there." And then everything from the end, from the halo to the end of the movie is Cruise's dream coming true, where his ex-wife figures out this thing that, like, all, all cascades.
Max SlothHOST
He's always in smaller, but he's like the main actor in this.
Max SlothHOST
Tim Blake Nelson.
Max SlothHOST
let me see a missy pile what have you seen her in she plays the fox news anchor in gone girl i assume you've seen gone girl
MickGUEST
yeah yeah
Max SlothHOST
But what I wanted to tell you, the main question of this movie, it's like examining the death penalty and if it's inhumane or ethical in any way.
Max SlothHOST
And a lot of the movie is human behavior.
Max SlothHOST
So it's directed by Tim Blake Nelson, and he came out at the end.
Max SlothHOST
Oh, yeah, he's like a Coen Brothers guy.
JacobHOST
Weird.
CharlotteHOST
Like Tim Blake Nelson in Dune.
JacobHOST
That's tragic.
PatrickHOST
I-
Juzo GreenwoodHOST
I think, uh, given, given this, um, um, I was going to go chronologically, but actually, this kind of idea fits in with the last movie I saw at the festival, so I'll just talk about that now.
Juzo GreenwoodHOST
This is called The Life and Deaths of Wilson Shedd, and it's directed by Tim Blake Nelson, who is a name you might not know off the top of your head, but if you look up Tim Blake Nelson, you know him.
Juzo GreenwoodHOST
He's a classic character actor he's an oa brother where art thou he's in the ballad of buster scruggs um he's a wonderful often he's playing like morons in movies um and and like he's very goofy on screen but his work as a director and as a playwright is incredibly serious and punishing and this film is uh very much in that vein a little more difficult to talk about because some of the disturbing elements of it happen later in the movie, but it's about a woman who's sort of working at this prison and she's in an abusive relationship.
Juzo GreenwoodHOST
And then it also just becomes about the prison system and capital punishment and I was very mixed about this movie, partly just because of the unrelenting nature of it.
Darren MooneyGUEST
It's a resource to be exploited.
Izaak StoakesGUEST
Did know that the Tim Blake Nelson character was the leader, but you do really get a sense if you didn't know this guy's not all right.
Izaak StoakesGUEST
That's a really good switch where he goes like, "Test subjects?"
Darren MooneyGUEST
[laughs]
Craig McKenzieHOST
God, what a time for superhero movies.
Darren MooneyGUEST
A real changing of the tides.
Izaak StoakesGUEST
Is Tim Blake Nelson in Brand New Day much?
Darren MooneyGUEST
Brave New World.
Calvin SchwartzHOST
I'm gonna go to AI and say, "Listen, I listen to Scarborough Fair and Leaving on a Jet Plane, and Times Are a-Changin'." And I watch that Dylan movie again and again and again and again to see the beginning.
Calvin SchwartzHOST
Did you like that? Did you see that Dylan movie with Tim Blake Nelson?
Jim BerkenstadtGUEST
I, I don't know which Dylan movie we're talking about.
Calvin SchwartzHOST
Uh, uh, uh, I forgot what it's called.
Keith PhippsHOST
And, and-
Mike RyanHOST
Tim Blake Nelson, right?
Keith PhippsHOST
Tim Blake Nelson, right.
Mike RyanHOST
Yeah.
Keith PhippsHOST
And, and because of that, it was in this, he-
10 MINS LATER
Germain LussierGUEST
Exactly.
Germain LussierGUEST
[laughs]
Keith PhippsHOST
How do you feel about Tim Blake Nelson as, as Samuel Sterns, who's never referred to as The Leader but is The Leader from the comics?
Sharon WymanHOST
Amanda was in the Hamptons for the US premiere of The Life and Deaths of Wilson Shed, the festival's 2026 centerpiece film, which she stars in alongside Scott McNairy.
Sharon WymanHOST
And the film, written and directed by Tim Blake Nelson, screened on October 3rd and 4th.
Stacy BlackHOST
We loved hearing Amanda share her own connection to Long Island.
Stacy BlackHOST
We love when that happens.
GiffHOST
Yeah.
BradHOST
We've got, uh, Tim Blake Nelson, who has just a small part, but of course you love him from O Brother, Where Art Thou?
GiffHOST
I certainly do.
GiffHOST
Yep.
