Elvis welcomes director Josh Safdie whose latest project is the ambitious Marty Supreme. The film stars newly minted Golden Globe winner Timothée Chalamet as the hustling, talented table tennis player Marty Mauser. Safdie talks about why he used ‘80s music in a film set in the ‘50s, Chalamet’s crazy year of playing Bob Dylan and the fictional — but inspired by real life character — Marty Mauser back to back, and why he likes to keep the camera loose.
Actress Emily Blunt’s career has taken her from working with iconic actors, including Meryl Streep and Tom Cruise to playing iconic characters, such as Mary Poppins. Her latest role has her going toe to toe against one of the biggest stars of the screen. She plays real life Dawn Staples in The Smashing Machine opposite Dwayne Johnson and was nominated for a Golden Globe for her performance. For her treat, Blunt pays tribute to the inspiring (and mildly inappropriate films) that shaped her childhood.
This week on The Treatment, Elvis welcomes back Emmy, Tony, and Grammy-winning actress Cynthia Erivo. She’s hoping to add Golden Globe winner to that list this weekend as she’s up for Best Actress in a Musical or Comedy for her role as Elphaba in Wicked: For Good. Erivo discusses playing characters with duality, how Elphaba matures in the Wicked sequel, and the quiet, powerful moments she loves most from the film.
Actor Dwayne Johnson is crushing expectations with his latest role as an MMA fighter in 2025’s The Smashing Machine. He’s up for a Golden Globe for his raw portrayal of the real life Mark Kerr. For his treat, Johnson celebrates those closest to him and this new, exciting chapter in his career.
This week on The Treatment, Elvis welcomes back actor and director Joel Edgerton. He recently earned a Golden Globe nomination for his role in Netflix’s Train Dreams. He's also appearing in the psychological thriller The Plague, now in theaters. Edgerton discusses his character's physicality in Train Dreams, the strong female characters in the film, and why he is drawn to parts that explore the complexity of masculinity.
Actor Jason Isaacs has had a long, pigeon-hole proof career with meaty roles from the villainous Lucius Malfoy in the Harry Potter films to Colonel Tavington in The Patriot. Isaacs’ role as a tormented father in season three of the HBO series The White Lotus earned him a Golden Globe nomination and a primetime Emmy nomination earlier this year. However, it’s an early role on stage that he cites as a highlight of his career and a very tough act to follow.
This week on The Treatment, Elvis talks with Golden Globe nominee Emily Blunt. She recently got a nod for her supporting role as Dawn Staples opposite Dwayne Johnson in The Smashing Machine. Blunt talks about her joy working with Johnson on the film, the challenges of playing a real person, and the impact of working through her childhood stutter.
The late director Rob Reiner’s prolific talents spanned medium and genre. Reiner started out as an actor on Norman Lear’s classic sitcom All In the Family. He then made the transition to behind the camera with ease, directing comedic gems including This is Spinal Tap, When Harry Met Sally, and The Princess Bride. He proved equally adept at drama with Stand by Me and Misery. For The Treat, Reiner paid tribute to a multi-talented inspiration whose influence stayed with him his whole life — his father, Carl.
This reflection was recorded in September and is being released for the first time.

This week on The Treatment, Elvis speaks with Oscar-winning director Guillermo del Toro about his film adaptation of Mary Shelley's Frankenstein. Del Toro talks about filming Oscar Isaac like he was a rock star, how Jacob Elordi stepped in quickly to take on the role of the monster, and why he sees the story as "catholic" in many ways.
Actor Greg Kinnear has starred in dozens of roles on film and TV from his breakout role in 1995’s Sabrina, to his Oscar nominated role in As Good as It Gets alongside Jack Nicholson, but he actually got his start in broadcasting. Kinnear hosted E!’s Talk Soup and the late-night talk show Later with Greg Kinnear. For his Treat, Kinnear pays tribute to the people who showed him the ropes for his first on-air gig.
Director Joshua Rofé’s unforgettable HBO documentary series The Mortician, about an unethical family-run funeral home, left its mark on audiences.

Rofé recalls his first time watching it in a theater and breaks down why it’s possibly the best thriller of all time.

Elvis chats with actor, comedian, and musician Fred Armisen about his fun new album 100 Sound Effects.
From fake applause to champagne glass breaking, this album is stacked. Elvis and Fred talk about the absurd specificity of each track, which sound was surprisingly hard to capture, the evolution of sound effect albums, and their shared love of drumming.
Director Matt Shakman helmed one of the summer’s biggest hits — Marvel’s The Fantastic Four: First Steps. But his earliest film inspiration was the 1949 Carol Reed noir The Third Man, starring Joseph Cotton and Orson Welles. Shakman cites the film’s post-war setting, storytelling, and great performances as having had a lasting impact on him. Plus, he reveals a surprising connection between the classic film and Fantastic Four.
This week on The Treatment, Elvis speaks with writer-director Edgar Wright. His newest project is an adaptation of the 1982 Stephen King novel The Running Man, starring Glen Powell. They discuss the thrill of collaborating with King on the project, the prescience of the novel, and why it was important to make the protagonist an ordinary guy.
Although he’s been retired from the NFL for more than a decade, director and actor Nnamdi Asomugha still gets inspired by a team coming together under difficult circumstances. For his treat, he credits the 2001 miniseries Band of Brothers about paratroopers in World War II with keeping him going while recuperating from a football injury.
Elvis speaks with director, TV host, and comedian W. Kamau Bell, on making audiences laugh on his current stand-up tour Who's With Me?. They discuss his brand of comedy, what's happening in late night TV and what made his CNN series United Shades of America different from other travel shows.
Director Ari Aster’s films often go in unpredictable directions. That’s apparent in his works including Midsommar, Hereditary, and his latest, Eddington, which stars Joaquin Phoenix, Pedro Pascal, and Emma Stone. For his treat, he pays homage to a 2024 French film that is more than meets the eye.

Elvis knows the business well enough to give ideas and input to his subjects. He should be required listening for anyone wanting to become an interviewer.
I agree with all the other reviews that regail Elvis' great interviewing prowess, but I also want to recommend this podcast to all the other folks out there like me whose local Public Radio affiliate doesn't broadcast The Treatment. The shows are insightful and highly entertaining! I'm glad I stumbled upon these broadcasts!
Elvis is a great interviewer because he really cares about the person he is talking with. His style is laidback but passionate. Because he is so trustworthy his shows are very insightful. My only complaint is they need more episodes!
