Robert Redford Was Great

Screen, Play

Show Notes

Award-winning Irish screenwriters Will Collins (Wolfwalkers, Song of the Sea, Star Wars: Visions) and Kevin Lehane (Grabbers, Neil Gaiman’s Likely Stories) return with Screen, Play — the podcast where something topical sparks a top three.

In our second episode, we turn our attention to the late Robert Redford, who died this week, one of Hollywood’s true icons. Actor, director, producer, activist, and founder of Sundance, Redford’s career reshaped both mainstream cinema and independent film culture across more than six decades.

We each count down our top three Redford picks: from classic performances that defined an era to the films he directed and produced that left a lasting mark. Along the way, we reflect on why Redford mattered, what he brought to the screen, and how his legacy continues to shape film today.

We’d love to hear your own favourite Redford films — and whether our choices match yours.

Without a topic, we decided to chat about whatever took our fancy. We pay tribute to Dolly Parton, discuss the X-Men casting and the Bond shortlist among other things.
