[EN] Blue Moon: Do Ethan Hawke and Richard Linklater Still Have the Magic?
Wednesday, 7 January, 2026

Today we discuss "Blue Moon", the new film from the good old pairing of Richard Linklater and Ethan Hawke. We really enjoyed how contained it is, taking place in one location in real time, and anchored by an unsurprisingly fantastic performance by Hawke. 00:00 Intro and New Year01:45 Great film!03:05 Ethan Hawke's sex appeal03:47 Make-up and costume design04:54 The Two Sides of Lorenz Hart10:25 Structure and Approach12:05 Ethan Hawke's performance14:18 Lorenz Hart is always performing16:18 Passage of Time and Biopics18:48 Casablanca and Introductions21:34 Does he hate Casablanca?24:05 Hopeless romantic25:04 Hart's constant quoting28:13 Does he hate "Oklahoma!"?32:49 The Cloakroom scene
