Episode 49: In the Heights, Inside, The Driver, Tribeca, Amusement Park with Beatrice Loayza - a podcast by The Last Thing I Saw

Welcome to The Last Thing I Saw, with your host, Nicolas Rapold. This week I was happy to chat again with the critic Beatrice Loayza, whom you might know from her reviews in The New York Times and essays in Reverse Shot and other publications. We caught up with In the Heights and another sort of musical movie, Bo Burnham’s Inside. And since we hadn’t seen Fast 9 yet, I picked a replacement and talked about that instead: Walter Hill’s The Driver, with Ryan O’Neal, Bruce Dern, and Isabelle Adjani. Beatrice also talks about the rediscovered George Romero movie, Amusement Park, and I share a few highlights from my viewing at the Tribeca Film Festival. And finally, just because, a few words on Kubrick’s Paths of Glory.
