Thank you for listening to this episode of the FOLLOWING FILMS podcast. A movie podcast that takes you on a weekly journey into the world of cinema and the minds of the talented individuals who shape it. I\'m your host, Chris Maynard, and today we are joined by director Marc Turtletaub to discuss his film Jules.

\\n

JULES stars Ben Kingsley as Milton, a man who lives a quiet life of routine in a small western Pennsylvania town, but finds his day upended when a UFO and its extra-terrestrial passenger crash land in his backyard. Before long, Milton develops a close relationship with the extra-terrestrial he calls \\u201cJules.\\u201d Things become complicated when two neighbors discover Jules and the government quickly closes in. What follows is a funny, wildly inventive ride as the three neighbors find meaning and connection later in life - thanks to this unlikely stranger.

\\n

But before we dive into our conversations with Marc, I\'d like to take a moment to thank our sponsor, Bookmans. Bookmans is your go-to independent bookstore, where you can find an extensive selection of books, movies, music, and more. They truly believe in the power of storytelling and the magic of the cinematic arts. So, if you\'re looking to expand your film, music, or movie collection, be sure to visit your nearest Bookmans, there is always something truly wonderful to discover.
