    Jay McInerney on Looking at Society Through the Lens of Wine

    Novelist and veteran wine writer Jay McInerney, famous for his 1984 cult classic “Bright Lights, Big City,” talks with us about how vineyard owners are coping with the climate crisis, the opportunity plant-based fine dining presents for rethinking wine pairings, and why great food should cost a certain price.

    Episode sponsored by Château Troplong Mondot.

    ...about September 30, 1955 (1977) with Alex Simon

    ...about September 30, 1955 (1977) with Alex Simon

    In 1977 James Bridges cashed in his “Paper Chase” cred to make this deeply personal film about the effect of James Dean’s death on a group of young Arkansans played by a supremely talented gang of newcomers to the screen. Alex Simon of The Hollywood Interview is our guest co-host for this episode

    Written and Directed by James Bridges. Cinematographer Gordon Willis. Starring Richard Thomas, Susan Tyrrell, Lisa Blount, Thomas Hulce, Dennis Quaid, Dennis Christopher

    How is the world wrong about this movie?

    From Andras: Released with little fanfare the same year as “Star Wars” toward the end of the wave of cinematic nostalgia for the 50’s that was kicked off with “American Graffiti” you could say this film is both a beneficiary and the victim of George Lucas’s success.
