Summary

James Gray's "Armageddon Time" had its world premiere at the Cannes Film Festival earlier this year and later screened at the Telluride and New York Film Festivals before releasing in theaters last week from Focus Features. The film tells the personal childhood story of a young James Grey (played by Banks Repeta as Paul Graff) growing up in 1980s Queens, New York, during a time of social and political change that was sweeping the country. Jeremy Strong, who plays Paul's father Irving, was on hand with Gray to discuss their work on the film alongside another interview I conducted with Banks Repeta, who went into detail about what it was like working with Strong, Anne Hathaway, and the legendary Anthony Hopkins and more. Please take a listen to my interviews with all of them and enjoy! Thank you! Check out more on NextBestPicture.com Please subscribe on...
