Four members of the Philadelphia Film Critics Circle LeAnne Lindsay (me), Dan Tabor, Stephen Silver & Rich Heimlich, got the opportunity to sit down with
Rian Johnson in Philly, the morning before GLASS ONION: A KNIVES OUT MYSTERY screened at the 31st Annual Philadelphia Film Festival.
His interview is part of our Film Scribes Podcast. Of course you never have enough time to ask all the questions you have prepared, but I was glad to fit in a little aside about how much I admire his wife, Karina Longworth‘s Podcast “You Must Remember This” a deep dive into old Hollywood. And whether or not their home is haunted.

One Night in Miami w/Q&A
ONE NIGHT IN MIAMI is officially my choice for Best Film of 2020! Here you have four men of iconic status, all hanging out together on a historic night (February 25, 1964) the night Clay took the title from Sonny Liston; and yet this is not common knowledge? I hate to say it, but say Joe Namath, Rocky Marciano, Bob Dillon and Henry Kissinger all hung out one night, there…
