| 0:00.0 | Hello and welcome to Little Gold Men, Vanity Fair's podcast for film, TV, and awards lovers. |
| 0:10.8 | I'm Rebecca Ford. |
| 0:11.8 | And I'm John Ross. |
| 0:14.4 | John, have you been post-Oskers? |
| 0:16.8 | I've been good. |
| 0:17.7 | I'm well-rested. |
| 0:19.7 | Saturday night, I got to attend this exclusive |
| 0:24.2 | showre that Ryan Murphy hosted for the cast and crew of Love Story at the Chateau. |
| 0:32.6 | If you're wondering if they're as glamorous in real life as they are on the show, the answer is yes. |

| 1:35.6 | I've always been pretty tough on Amazon and MGM about their theatrical prospects. They proved me wrong. |
| 1:43.9 | But I do think that there is a feeling of sequel fatigue in the |
| 1:50.1 | industry or in the film-going community. And it's just cool to see this movie open so big and have |
| 1:57.9 | it be, you know, an original concept. It's much harder to market that. |
| 2:02.8 | And so props for Amazon, MGM, and Ryan Gosling for getting it there. |
