You Must Remember This

If
you're a fan of You Must Remember This, we think you'll also enjoy
Talking Pictures, a podcast from TCM and HBO Max. On this episode,
Oscar-nominated actress Rosie Perez sits down with host Ben Mankiewicz
to discuss the films that shaped her career—Do the Right Thing and
Fearless—as well as early favorites like Saturday Night Fever and Double
Indemnity. She reflects on building a career in an industry that didn’t
readily accept her for who she is, and speaks candidly about being
raised in a strict Catholic home for girls. In the Super 8 segment, she
tells Ben about an amazing boxing story she’d love to see on the big
screen.Listen to Talking Pictures wherever you get your podcasts, or watch on HBO Max

In part two of our season finale, we explore the final decade of John Huston’s life and career. As he was slowly dying of emphysema and undergoing massive turmoil in his personal life, Huston continued to work almost compulsively on both passion projects (The Man Who Would Be King, Wise Blood, Under the Volcano) and paycheck gigs (Annie). His career ended, fittingly, with two collaborations with the next generation of Hustons, Prizzi’s Honor and The Dead.

This series began with the story of a director who wrote his autobiography to secure his place in history after his career had gone down the drain. It ends with the story of a man who wrote his autobiography as a “dead man walking”...and then continued to make movies for another half a decade, until the literal last breath left his body. Hollywood’s original “nepo baby” director, John Huston was never a conventional studio system stalwart, and in some respects he was able to go with the flow of changing times a lot better than some of his contemporaries. In part one of our two-part season finale we’ll talk about his flight from Hollywood to Ireland, literally playing God, Huston’s long fallow period in the late 60s, Anjelica Huston’s misbegotten film debut, Huston’s reinvention in the New Hollywood era and the health crisis that almost ended it all.
