Open To Criticism
Wendy Lloyd
23 episodes
9 months ago

What if your taste in movies is being dictated by powerful voices who don’t look like you, think like you, or care about the stories you want to see? Film critic Wendy Lloyd investigates who’s really shaping what you watch – and why it matters.


In the #MeToo, BLM, and Times Up era, are the gatekeepers of film criticism changing, or are the same old voices still pulling the strings? Wendy digs deep into who gets to shape the conversation, why it matters, and how the stories we value are impacted by race, gender, and privilege.


With sharp wit and a knack for getting to the heart of the issue, Wendy invites fellow critics and commentators into lively discussions about the inequalities still lurking behind the scenes of the industry's most powerful platforms. Who decides what films deserve top honours during Awards season? And why are so few diverse voices holding the reins?


Join Wendy for this twice-nominated Independent Podcast Awards show, as she unpacks the mystery of who holds the real power in film. Blending humour with hard truths in a show that might just change the way you see the movies – and the critics who rate them.

Jewish Identity Onscreen with Gabriella Geisinger

Jewish Identity Onscreen with Gabriella Geisinger
This week I talk to critic Gabriella Geisinger about the representation of Jews onscreen, prompted by several big movies in the past year that provoked debate about authentic casting. I'm talking of course about Maestro, Oppenheimer and Golda. I reached out to Gabriella after reading her insightful article about Bradley Cooper's prosthetic nose and the debate that it, and his casting in the role of Leonard Bernstein, prompted. I wanted her perspective on non-Jewish actors being cast in major stories about real life Jews, and what that says about the status of Jewish actors and the opportunities then available to them when the tasty roles get taken by gentiles. For context, our conversation took place last September before the events in the Middle East the following month. We also talked critic identity and how this naturally evolves in line with the evolution of audiences to embrace and value different perspectives in the critique they seek. Which as you know, I'm all for! Here's the link for Gabriella's article discussed: https://www.msn.com/en-gb/lifestyle/other/bradley-coopers-fake-nose-in-maestro-has-sparked-a-complicated-but-necessary-debate/ar-AA1fobmN #Maestro #Oppenheimer #Golda #TheEyesOfTammyFaye #TheWhale #TheMarvelousMrsMaisel #PunchDrunkLove #TheFabelmans #BradleyCooper #CillianMurphy #AdamSandler #RachelBrosnahan #OscarIsaac
