Episode 182: James L. Brooks (feat. Clay Keller & Ryan Marker of Screen Drafts)

BE SURE TO LISTEN TO THE VERY END FOR A SURPRISE CAMEO!  For the last official episode of 2020, I brought on two very special guests from one of my new favorite podcasts, Screen Drafts to talk about one of my favorite writer/directors, James L. Brooks. The great Clay Keller and Ryan Marker join me to discuss his entire filmography since it’s relatively small (unless you count his work in TV) and focus mainly on our love for his first two films. One of which is not only my favorite screenplay of all time but Clay’s favorite movie of all time. Early on, we also provide quick reviews on TIME, PROMISING YOUNG WOMAN and WILD MOUNTAIN THYME! What a great way to end the year and be sure to stay subscribed for two very special anniversary episodes in January! Obviously, I expect all of you to subscribe to Screen Drafts if you haven’t yet. 00:00 - 15:30 - Introduction15:31 - 37:03 - What We Watched This Week37:04 - 38:07 - Director Song38:08 - 01:33:11 - Terms of Endearment + Broadcast News 01:33:12 - 01:57:34 - The Rest Of His Films01:57:35 - 02:10:02 - Top Three / Outro / Surprise!
