Hi everybody. I'm Leonard Malton. And I'm Jesse Malton. You're listening to Malton on

movies. And our guest today is somebody who has not just had a hit on television,

has not just conquered pop culture during a pandemic,

but he has become the talk of the moment.

I mean, his series, The Queen's Gambit, so bulldozed everything else that I can think of.

And I know what you were thinking.

This is a movie about chess.

I'm going to take over the world.

You tapped into the zeitgeist in a way that I don't think anything else has come close to.

No.
