THE SUBSTANCE: The Journey to Creating Coralie Fargeat’s Genre-Defying Modern Masterpiece
Executive Producer Alexandra Loewy dives deep into the making of 2025 Oscar-nominated horror film, The Substance. She shares how Writer/Director Coralie Fargeat meticulously crafted the film, spending two years writing what Loewy calls the most detailed script she had ever read, paired with an 80-page lookbook including striking visual references. With a very demanding filming process, Fargeat had stars Demi Moore and Margaret Qualley begin prep six weeks ahead of filming rather than the more conventional two, using the time to explain the demands in prosthetics, acting, choreography, and more. Despite challenges along the way, the film found resounding success starting at Cannes Film Festival and beyond, solidifying its place as one of the most unforgettable films of the year.

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.
