Ep. 157 – In Conversation with: Amy Irving & Peter Riegert

Welcome to The B-Side! Here we talk to movie stars! About a movie that people love and the hidden gems they've also made! We were lucky enough to speak with Amy Irving and Peter Riegert, on the occasion of the Criterion release of Joan Micklin Silver’s Crossing Delancey. We discuss the legacy of the film nearly forty years later. With Irving we touch on Honeysuckle Rose, Carried Away, and her new music album. With Riegert we talk about Chilly Scenes of Winter (also directed by Micklin Silver), the feature he directed, King of the Corner, and the eclectic rangle of characters he’s played over the years. Additionally, we mention Steven Soderbergh’s oeuvre (they were both in Traffic!), the actor’s directorial debuts Riegert starred in (Infinity and Jerry & Tom specifically), and how they’ve both grown as performers over time.
