I'm Sean Fennacy.

And this is the big picture of conversation show about Robert Redford.

Tracy Letts is here.

Hello.

Hi.

Hello.

You're here to just be a podcaster.

That's all I do. You're not selling

anything. You're not promoting anything. You're not here to talk about physical media. You're not

here to talk about your life. You're here to talk about a filmmaker, an actor, a Hollywood legend.

Why are you here? This is my job. Okay. My job is a physical media collector, third chair on the big picture,

bon vivant, and as a hobby, I occasionally write a play or appear in a film. But this is my job.

I'm doing my job and I've done the work. Welcome back to work. Amanda, how are you feeling about the work today?

I'm a bit nervous because before this recording, Tracy indicated to me that he watched multiple episodes of Robert Redford's television work.

I have at least one I would like to discuss.

I have been in the minds doing the Redford work. I have seen a lot of things, but I did not make it to the TV episodes. So I'm starting out Dondent. A couple of good ones. Just a sampling. I did not see all of Robert Redford's TV work. Just a sampling. Okay. Well, that should give you some indication of what we're attempting to do here, which is we are going to talk about in celebration of the life and work of one of the biggest careers in Hollywood history.

I think when he, right after he passed, we talked about it and I said, I can't think of someone who had actually a bigger impact on the industry at large in that era, in part because of the multiple different roles that he played,

first as a star, then as a filmmaker, then as a sort of activist and shepherd for lots and lots and

lots of great artists over the last 40-plus years of the Sundance Institute. So talking about him is

challenging, but let's just try to have a general conversation at first.

You remember the first time you saw him?

Yeah, I was eight years old, and I saw him in the sting in the movie theater, 1973.
