IndieWire: Screen Talk

Renowned scholar of Hollywood and podcaster Karina Longworth joins us this week to discuss the upcoming season of "You Must Remember This," The Bisexuals. (28:16)

But first, Ryan has a report from the "You Can See Everything" premiere at NYFF. He and Anne discuss the doc, fast becoming the hottest ticket in town, and what else is connecting with audiences at the festival.

They touch on the different ways "Digger" & "Verity" fail their audiences and how their predicted bombing affects their studios.

Finally they react to the recent round of musical executive chairs in the Warner-Mount deal, David Fincher and Sean Levy leaving their Netflix contracts, and more shakeups at CNN and CBS news.
