Hello and welcome to Little Goldman, the podcast from Vanity Fair and

Panoply that proves that awards season really is a year-round event.

I'm Katie Rich, the deputy editor of Vanity-round event. I'm Katie Rich the deputy

editor of vanity fair.com and I'm here just with Richard Lawson our film

critic. Hello we're doing a little what they call in the theater a two-hand.

Hey you know we'll be joined by Rebecca Keegan later. So, you know, we are nothing without our backup.

But yeah, Mike and Joanna are both off in various lands

as we speak, so we're gonna handle things on our own.

And we're gonna start with news that,

as you're hearing this is a little bit old, but is kind of broken as we were in the recording studio, which is that Jonathan Demi died.

Yeah, the great director at 72.

Yeah, it was just, I mean, I don't really know any details yet, but it certainly came as a shock to me you know I guess

when no one is when someone isn't publicly sick you don't necessarily know what's

what's happening so yeah you know we're just sort of looking at Twitter

which is I guess how you find out about these things these days and it's

interesting to see how different you know I mean I follow a lot of film people on

Twitter obviously you know some people are remembering him for his really lauded

concert films or you know he's had such an

interesting parapetetic career I mean obviously most kind of headlines are going

to Silence of the Lambs or you know which is probably his most famous movie certainly the one for which he won the

Oscar and won it won the big five yeah that's all I was trying to think of the big five yeah

which is picture actress director screen, director, screenwriter.
