Movie Freak Owen Gleiberman wants a good scare! INTERVIEW - a podcast by Bob Andelman

OWEN GLEIBERMAN podcast excerpt: "When I first saw 'Spotlight,' I was, 'Yeah, this is great! It's feeding my nostalgia for 'All The President's Men'! It's about when newspapers mattered!' It touched all of my key passion points. But the more I thought about it, I thought it was a good move, but it wasn't great. And I did watch it a second time; if anything, it looked a little less good. The major characters could have been developed more; it's not All The President's Men."

Key interview moments:

• 8:30 Owen Gleiberman talks about the impact of scary, horrific movies on the souls of 12-year-old children (himself included);

• 29:30 Legendary film critic Pauline Kael was an early supporter of Gleiberman's -- she recommended him for the job at 'Entertainment Weekly' -- but she was not an enduring friend to those who disagreed with her film criticism;

• 54:00 "Spotlight" was a good movie, he says, but it didn't hold up upon repeat viewing.
