Show Notes
In memory of the late Rob Reiner, we’re revisiting two of his best-beloved films: This week, it’s Allana Harkin’s 2017 celebration of When Harry Met Sally, the romantic comedy that gave us Billy Crystal and Meg Ryan and Carrie Fisher and Bruno Kirby at their most effortlessly charming – and minted Nora Ephron as a genre-defining screenwriter. Your genial host Norm Wilner had forgotten all about the massive rainstorm halfway through the episode.

With her new show Cassie Workman is Witchy AF rolling out on YouTube, actor and comedian Cassie Workman is here to throw a little love at Eurovision Song Contest: The Story of Fire Saga, the Netflix movie where Will Ferrell and Rachel McAdams sing some really great songs.

This week, Late Fame director Kent Jones marks his film’s home release with a celebration of The Passenger, Michelangelo Antonioni’s fascinatingly opaque 1975 drama starring Jack Nicholson as a lost man who finds purpose in a new identity – for a while, anyway.

As Late Fame arrives on Blu-ray and VOD, Oscar-nominated screenwriter Samy Burch is here to discuss her love for Fred Schepisi’s 1993 adaptation of John Guare’s award-winning play Six Degrees of Separation, a film that’s sort of fallen through the cracks over the decades. Your genial host Norm Wilner is very glad to have her.
