Filmmaker and film production professor Alex Sherman joins Brendan for a discussion of the 2022 film Armageddon Time, starring Jeremy Strong, Anne Hathaway, Anthony Hopkins, Jessica Chastain, John Diehl, Banks Repeta, and Jaylin Webb. Before getting to the film itself, Brendan and Alex dive deep into the career of writer-director James Gray, whose films address themes of family, legacy, inheritance, immigration, Judaism, assimilation, and transfers of power. Inspired by Gray's childhood experiences, the story follows a young Jewish-American boy who befriends an African-American classmate and begins to struggle with expectations from his family and growing up in a world of privilege, inequality and prejudice. This bonus episode was recorded a few days before Jesse Armstrong announced that Succession's fourth season would be its last, so the preamble features some outdated speculation about the future of the show. Collin Brinkmann's blog The 15:17 to Cinema, featuring his critical biography of James Gray and Jordan Mintzer's report from the set of Armageddon Time: https://the1517tocinema.blogspot.com/
