On this week’s episode I’m joined by Jennifer Esposito, the director, writer, and star of Fresh Kills, a mob movie told from the perspective of mob wives and mob daughters. We discussed her career in the movies and how that helped prep her to stand behind the camera, why it’s hard to find audiences for original movies telling stories aimed at adults, how social media is helping build a base of support, and the powerfully feral performance of Odessa A’zion. You can watch Fresh Kills right now from the comfort of your own home on your preferred VOD provider. And if you enjoyed this episode, please share it with a friend!
If you’d like to yell at me about movies (or anything else I’ve written/said on a podcast), you can do so in Dallas on September 5 at the Wyly Theatre. Or maybe you just want to say hi to Sarah and Tim (they’re great!) or listen to Adam Kinzinger talk about the state of [gestures wildly] all this. And if you’re coming into town and just want a recommendation of where to eat or grab a drink, I can probably help with that too.
