Coppola's The Conversation w/Yasmin Nair

This week I'm happy to have Yasmin Nair back with me to talk about Francis Ford Coppola's classic film The Conversation. The idea came to us after the recent passing of Gene Hackman and both of us speaking about the respect we have for much of the work Hackman did as an actor over the years. It led us to one of his finer films, The Conversation, which is also one of Coppola's very best works. In our investigation about the film, we dig into conversations around the surveillance state, the American obsession with privacy, the character of the American businessman and much more. It's a rich conversation. Yasmin will also be back in the near future to do some discussion on the work of Stuart Hall which I am really looking forward to! If you would like to check out more of Yasmin's work (and you should) you can go to her website: https://yasminnair.com/ Looking forward to hearing folks' thoughts on the episode!
