Hey guys, Willie Geist here with another episode of the Sunday Sit Down Podcast.

My thanks as always for clicking and listening along.

I've got another Oscar nominee for you this week.

She is Amanda Cipherid.

You know where you'll love her from movies like Mean Girls?

Two Mama Mia films where she played Sophie, those movies gross together more than a billion

dollars at the box office.

She was in Les Misarab.

She was in Ted 2, depending on your taste in movies she can do just about anything.

And now she stars in Mank, the Netflix movie that has 10 Oscar nominations leading the

pack, including one for Amanda for Best Supporting Actress.

She plays Real Life 1930s film star Marion Davies, who was in movies, but also known as the

Mistress and Longtime Companion of Media Magnate William Randolph Hurst.

So the movie Mank is about the making of the film, the writing of the film Citizen Kane,

which was based on the life, loosely perhaps or closely, of William Randolph Hurst.

So she'll explain the premise of the movie, how it all ties in, how it works.

She's amazing and it's black and white directed by David Fincher.

You'll hear Amanda talk about what an honor it is just to be asked to be in a movie by

David Fincher.

He's done seven fight club, the curious case of Benjamin Button.

He did House of Cards, the series on Netflix, really good work and actors just want to work

with him.
