MEET THE PARENTS: Robert De Niro's Hilarious Portrayal as Your Intimidating Father-in-Law
Producer and the Co-founder and CEO of Tribeca Enterprises Jane Rosenthal joins us to discuss family comedy Meet the Parents and the successful franchise it inspired. What began as the simple yet wildly entertaining premise of meeting a tough, mobster-like father-in-law like the iconic Robert De Niro turned into a comedic phenomenon. Rosenthal reveals how De Niro's commitment to blending realism with laugh-out-loud absurdity created unforgettable moments for audiences everywhere. She shares how the film's success was rooted in the nerve-wracking and often awkward universal experience of meeting your partner's parents, a moment that viewers can bring their personal experience to. The sequel, Meet the Fockers, was envisioned during the first film’s production, with Dustin Hoffman and Barbra Streisand quickly cast as Ben Stiller’s on-screen parents. With rumors of a new installment in the franchise, audiences can look forward to more laughs with the family! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

DUNE: PART ONE AND TWO: How Editing Helped Create an Oscar Winning Sci-Fi Epic
Editor Joe Walker takes us behind the scenes of the sci-fi epic, Dune: Part Two, and its Oscar-winning predecessor. In collaboration with director Denis Villeneuve, Walker shares how they worked together to balance intimate character moments with grand world-building and action, using his specialty in sound to create immersive environments and emotional depth. While Dune: Part One focused on introducing characters and setting the stage, Dune: Part Two adopted a faster pace to depict the main character Paul Atreides' transformative journey. Despite extensive planning, and even a dedicated "worm unit," Walker highlights how Villeneuve and the team embraced spontaneity when better creative opportunities revealed themselves, especially for intimate or ad-libbed scenes, creating one of the greatest sci-fi sagas of our time.
