b'Noah Segan joins us to talk the films of Dennis Hopper!
\\nRochelle and Lee look back at some of the key films from this month, including Steven Spielberg’s pop culture paean\\xa0Ready Player One (00:46), Aki Kaurism\\xc3\\xa4ki’s wry Finnish comedy-drama\\xa0The Other Side of Hope (05:49), Ruben \\xc3\\u2013stlund’s wry Swedish comedy-drama\\xa0The Square (08:08), Armando Iannucci’s wry Russian comedy-satire\\xa0The Death of Stalin (11:51), and Garth Davis’s non-wry Biblical drama\\xa0Mary Magdalene (14:32).
\\nWe’re then joined by this month’s guest, actor Noah Segan! Noah talks about what it’s like to go from being a fan of classic films to the star of future classics. Is there a cognitive dissonance that comes from growing up on\\xa0Star Wars and then suddenly finding yourself piloting an X-Wing? (17:05)
\\nThen, Noah takes us through the films directed by the legendary Dennis Hopper! Hopper appeared in some of the most iconic movies of all time, but with his directorial debut\\xa0Easy Rider\\xa0he proved he was just as capable of making modern masterpieces himself. His subsequent career as a director did not quite hit the heights of that first film, but what followed still proved Hopper to be a fascinating filmmaker with a unique point of view. Noah talks about what these films meant to him, and reveals the very specific influence Hopper had on his own career. (30:12)
