Award-winning filmmaker and acclaimed Mr Robot actor Michael Cristofer (The Witches of Eastwick, Original Sin, Casanova) joins Popcorn Podcast to unpack the artistry, emotion and powerhouse performances of his new film, The Great Lillian Hall. In this intimate and insightful conversation, Cristofer — a Pulitzer and Tony recipient — shares what drew him to the poignant story of a legendary stage actress facing memory loss, brought to life breathtakingly by Jessica Lange. Cristofer also opens up about his personal connection to the film, the joy and challenge of working with actors at the top of their game, the frustrations of Hollywood, and why he didn’t want to make another movie about dementia.


Whether you’re a fan of character-driven dramas, behind-the-scenes filmmaking, or unforgettable performances, this episode is your backstage pass to one of the year’s most moving films.
