New concept alert! We proudly introduce "Grierson and Leitch Conversations," in which we sit down with someone OTHER than each other to talk movie stuff, or culture stuff, or sports stuff, or whatever stuff! It'll be fun. We can't just talk to each other FOREVER. We introduce the occasional, sporadic series with Jessica Pressler, a longtime writer for New York Magazine whose 2015 story "The Hustlers at Scores" was adapted into the upcoming film "Hustlers," starring Jennifer Lopez. Jessica talks about the process of the film, working with Adam McKay, whether she's met J-Lo and what it's like to be played by Julia Stiles in the film. (Which she is!) We're excited about this interview, and we hope you are too. Thanks to Dylan Mayer and My Friend Mary, both of which are wonderful, for the music. We hope you enjoy. Let us know what you think @griersonleitch on Twitter, or griersonleitch@gmail.com. As always, give us a review on iTunes with the name of a movie you'd like us to review, and we'll discuss it on a later podcast. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
