You are listening to the next Best Picture podcast, and this is my interview with the stars of the film The Phoenician Scheme, Venicio del Toro, Mia Threpleton, and Michael Sarah.

At this moment, rescue workers are laboring to recover and identify the remains of Ja Ja Corda.

International businessman, Maverick in the fields of Zhaja Corda. International businessman,

Maverick in the fields of armaments and aviation,

among the richest men in Europe.

This was Cora's sixth recorded airplane crash.

He is survived by 10 children.

Nine boys, one none, his daughter, Liesel.

Venetia, Michael, thank you all so much for talking with me about the Phoenician scheme.

Curious to start off by asking, what is one thing that you each learned from each other

working on this?

Or something that you just even just took away working from each other?

I was unbelievably impressed by Mia's preparation. Like, she was just saying how it was she basically, like, made her whole dossier

herself on her kitchen floor.

And I mean, sometimes you get a peek at this and go, oh my God, I need to work harder.

And Benicio, you know, carrying this whole movie, which was like a lot of work and just

like maintaining his cool.

And also, you know, putting so much into it.

I mean, like, it's kind of an athletic event.

And it was great to watch you do it.

For everyone.

I've appointed you so heir to my estate, which you may come into sooner rather than later.
