Prestige Junkie

Host Katey Rich is joined by This Had Oscar Buzz co-host Joe Reid to discuss the Cannes Film Festival winners, and which titles could follow in the footsteps of The Zone of Interest and Anatomy of a Fall to major Oscar success.  Then, Katey talks to Maya Rudolph about the second season of her series Loot, in which she co-stars alongside Michaela Jae Rodriguez, Joel Kim Booster, Nat Faxon, and more. After coming up on Saturday Night Live and guest starring on virtually every great comedy of the past two decades, Rudolph says “I feel far funnier among funny people as opposed to being the center of something.” As Loot emerges as a true workplace comedy in its second season, it certainly allows her to do just that.

Host Katey Rich is joined by Sean McNulty to talk about the impact of Shogun moving to the best drama series Emmy race, and why the show’s success is so thrilling even if you’re not an FX or Disney shareholder. Then Katey talks to Under the Bridge star Lily Gladstone about her busy life post-Oscar nomination, her personal connection to the true story behind the show, and why making a comedy with Bowen Yang is a more logical step for her than you might expect.
