The Press Box

Today on The Press Box, Bryan sits down with New Yorker film critic Richard Brody. The duo discuss Brody’s career reviewing movies, being a filmmaker in the early ’90s (while also working at a detective agency), and how exactly he shifted careers and got hired at The New Yorker.

The guys also talk through the main complaints consumers have about movies these days and how warranted they are.

To close things out, Brody gives his “Five Politically Relevant Summer Movies.”
