Stephen Chbosky

If best-selling author and filmmaker Stephen Chbosky weren't quarantined he'd be shooting the movie version of the Broadway musical Dear Evan Hansen—which we can't wait to see. Meanwhile, his beautiful film Wonder is a Maltin Movie Club recommendation. Leonard and Jessie welcome him back to the podcast to discuss his wide-ranging career, starting with The Perks of Being a Wallflower, and his mentor, screenwriter Stewart Stern, who wrote Rebel Without a Cause and inspired Stephen from the moment they met.
