    Overheard at FYSEE: Ripley with Andrew Scott, Dakota Fanning & Johnny Flynn

    A few months ago, Krista sat down separately with Andrew Scott and Dakota Fanning to talk about their roles as Tom Ripley and Marge Sherwood in Steven Zaillian’s Ripley. Based on Patricia Highsmith’s bestselling “Tom Ripley” novels, the limited series follows Tom – a grifter scraping by in early 1960s New York – who is hired by a wealthy man to travel to Italy in order to convince his vagabond son to return home. His acceptance of the job is the first step into a complex life of deceit, fraud and murder.  Pulled from a recent panel, this episode dives deeper into the series by exploring the experiences of Scott, Fanning, and Johnny Flynn (who plays Dickie Greenleaf).

    Overheard at FYSEE: Griselda with Sofia Vergara

    A few weeks ago, Sofía Vergara sat down at the Netflix FYSEE space to reflect on her journey bringing Griselda to the screen. The limited series is a fictionalized dramatization inspired by the life of the savvy and ambitious Griselda Blanco (Vergara), who created one of the most powerful cartels in history. Set in 1970s-80s Miami, Blanco’s lethal blend of unsuspected savagery and charm helps her expertly navigate between business and family, leading her to become widely known as “the Godmother." Vergara (who also executive produced the series) gives a performance that is dark and powerful, yet still vulnerable – resulting in a captivating viewing experience.

    Glen Powell

    Glen Powell joins the show to talk about Hit Man, which he co-wrote and co-produced alongside the film's director, Richard Linklater. Powell stars as Gary -- a straight-laced professor who discovers his hidden talent as a fake hit man. But when one of his clients steals his heart, it ignites a powder keg of deception, delight, and mixed-up identities. Powell digs into his long-running creative relationship with Linklater, describes what it was like to develop Hit Man's colorful cast of characters, and reflects on meeting and working with his co-star Adria Arjona. He also explains how he fell in love with movies and musical theatre while growing up in Austin, Texas, breaks down his biggest career milestones, and gives a play-by-play of his Longhorns game day routine.  Listen to more from Netflix Podcasts.

    From The Archive: Michelle Buteau

    This week, Krista brings back her 2020 interview with comedian, actress, writer, and producer Michelle Buteau. At the time of this conversation, Buteau had just released her comedy special, Welcome to Buteaupia, and was on a non-stop run of projects -- hosting The Circle, appearing in films like Always Be My Maybe, and in TV shows like First Wives Club and Tales of the City. She was also just a few months away from publishing her autobiographical book of essays, Survival of the Thickest.  Cut to 2024, and Buteau has turned that book into a hit Netflix series by the same name. She's also expanded her hosting resume, adding two seasons of Barbecue Showdown to her list. In this interview, Buteau takes us back to the very beginning of her comedy career and talks about the challenges she faced along the way. She reveals when she feels most vulnerable on stage, how her parents felt about her pursuing her passion, and some of the unsolicited advice she’s received from her audiences. She also shares her advice for young comedians starting out, and what she’s learned by observing the extraordinary group of women she’s worked with in her career to date.

James reflects on being inspired by Ritchie's films as a teenager, describes the aspects of The Gentlemen that drew him to the series, explains how he adapted to the fast-paced environment that Ritchie creates on set, and shares what it was like to work alongside his co-stars Kaya Scodelario and Daniel Ings.  James also talks about his early interests in music and comedy, describes how he tried not to fanboy over Michael Imperioli on the set of The White Lotus, and shares a few of his biggest artistic inspirations.   Listen to more from Netflix Podcasts.

He also digs into the process of casting Jessica Gunning as Martha, unpacks the show's final scene, and shares a few of the surprising reactions he's received from viewers so far. Gadd also explains how being cast as Macbeth in his school play inspired him to pursue performing, recounts the intense moments leading up to his one-man show Monkey See Monkey Do at the 2016 Edinburgh Festival Fringe, and describes how the music of The Pogues has served as the soundtrack to his life.  Listen to more from Netflix Podcasts.
