Saturday Night director Jason Reitman and star Gabriel LaBelle

from The Awardist · host Entertainment Weekly

What did it take to pull off a movie about the wild 90 minutes leading up to the series debut of SNL? Saturday Night director Jason Reitman and star Gabriel LaBelle join Awardist host Gerrad Hall to discuss the making of that film — and LaBelle reveals whether it was more intimidating to play a version of Steven Spielberg in a movie directed by the legend, or playing SNL mastermind Lorne Michaels. Plus, EW Sr. Writer Maureen Lee Lenker shares her favorite movies and performances from the Telluride and Toronto film festivals, and the performance from earlier this year that she thinks should get a nomination.
