Christopher Lee, One of My Favorite Bond Villains
Roger Moore was never my favorite Bond. In fact, Roger Moore was never Roger Moore's favorite Bond. But the first Bond movie I ever saw as a kid was The Man with the Golden Gun (1974), Moore's second Bond movie…
Marc Maron Interviews Terry Gross
I’m a radio and podcast nerd. Two of my favorite shows are Fresh Air, hosted by Terry Gross, and WTF, hosted by Marc Maron. When I heard that Gross and Maron would be getting together at WNYC’s RadioLoveFest on May 6th, 2015, I was pissed that I couldn’t go, but really looking forward to hearing the audio when it was released, which happened yesterday.
Best Dressed at Festival de Cannes 2015: Jake Gyllenhaal
Few things make me cringe more than a man who gets “experimental” with black tie. It’s doubly disappointing when it’s a movie star, who has unfettered access to more resources than we average mortals could touch in four lifetimes.

Ian Schrager on Here’s the Thing
In a fascinating conversation on his Here’s the Thing podcast, Alec Baldwin talks with Ian Schrager, who started and co-owned Studio 54 with the late Steve Rubell.

Three Days of the Condor
Three Days of the Condor (1975) is a stand-out thriller among the great crop of movies made in the “Easy Riders, Raging Bulls” era of filmmaking in the late 1960s and the 1970s. It stars Robert Redford as a CIA operative (codename “Condor”) working in a branch of the agency that researches foreign books that might contain hidden codes and messages.
After Redford steps out to get lunch, he returns to the office to find all of his coworkers murdered. The movie unfolds over three days as Redford tries to find safety and to get the truth about why his department was wiped out. He can trust no one, especially his bosses at the CIA.
Invasion of the Body Snatchers, Leonard Nimoy’s Most Underrated Performance
Leonard Nimoy will always be known best for Spock, but his underrated performance in the 1978 alien invasion paranoia thriller Invasion of the Body Snatchers is one of my favorites. In it, he plays celebrated pop psychologist and best-selling author Dr. David Kibner.
