Episode 3
Tuesday, 18 November, 2025

Director Benny Safdie joins Becky and an appropriately-blue-suited Jon to discuss a film crucial to his development as a filmmaker, Paul Thomas Anderson's Punch-Drunk Love. Often lauded as one of the greatest films of the 21st century, it relaunched Adam Sandler as a dramatic actor, eventually leading to his acclaimed role as Howard Ratner in the Safdie-directed Uncut Gems.
