We've got a pretty special episode for fD with this one. It's the first ever fD podcast interview. Last week I co-hosted with
who runs the great SchmearCast podcast, along with his Substack, The Schmear Hunter. We got to sit down with director Ed Zwick over Zoom for an hour-long interview to talk about his new book: Hits, Flops, and Other Illusions: My Fortysomething Years in Hollywood. We talked about his career, the stars he's worked, with his thoughts on a changing Hollywood, and a lot more.The first half covers some of the movies that he's made and his experiences making those, with a long segment covering his experience on Glory. In the second half, we loosen up a little bit and cover some big picture macro questions about his career and his thoughts about Hollywood, before we finish with some rapid fire questions at the very end.
Hope you enjoy the listen and let me know what you think.
