The Fortune Cookie
After the box-office failure of Kiss Me, Stupid, Billy Wilder decided to leave sex out of The Fortune Cookie (1966).

Kiss Me, Stupid
When a star singer stops for gas in small-town Nevada, two struggling songwriters hatch a plot that is in no way problematic: they hire a local prostitute to pose as the piano player’s wife and offer her to the singer, hoping he’ll buy one of their songs.

The Social Reckoning Review
Sixteen years after winning an Oscar for writing “The Social Network,” Aaron Sorkin follows up by writing AND directing “The Social Reckoning.” He claims it’s not a sequel, but it IS a look at what happens when Mark Zuckerberg—and Facebook—are all grown up. Keir Graff and guest co-host Scott Dummler break it down and tell you whether you should friend, block, or report. Join our Patreon for episodes and content you won’t find anywhere else!

Interview with Paul Diamond, son of Billy Wilder’s writing partner, I. A. L. Diamond
Paul Diamond knew Billy Wilder well—his dad was Wilder’s writing partner, I. A. L. Diamond. A novelist, screenwriter, and movie producer himself, Paul spoke to Keir about meeting Marilyn Monroe, the true story behind his dad’s initials, and who wrote the line, “Nobody’s perfect.” Join our Patreon for episodes and content you won’t find anywhere else!

Irma La Douce
Billy Wilder’s last film, a savage satire of capitalism, was a flop. With Irma la Douce, he returned to the subject that gave him his greatest successes—sex!—by making a movie about a hooker with a heart of gold.

Wilder Inspires: Jerry Maguire
It's no secret that Billy Wilder was an important inspiration in Cameron Crowe's life and work. Crowe did, after all, write a book on Wilder. But how much of Wilder shows up in Crowe's movies? We look at Crowe's 1997 smash-hit Jerry Maguire and ask the most important question: Does Crowe show Wilder the money?

It Ends Review
Part existential road trip, part liminal horror nightmare, It Ends captivated audiences during its festival run and is hoping to build on that success with a theatrical release. We explore writer/director Alex Ullom's micro-budget effort and how it might give voice to the Covid generation. Also, we share two updates on our main squeeze, Steven Soderbergh!

One, Two, Three
It's 1961, and Hollywood is changing. Foreign films are wooing critics and audiences alike, and a new wave of filmmakers is starting to emerge. But while movies are taking a step forward, Wilder is taking a step back with One, Two, Three, a throwback comedy featuring an aging star. Grab yourself a Coca-Cola and find out if audiences would travel back with the classic auteur, of if he was, for the first time, out of step.
