Watch With Jen & Friends: Episode 32 - Jason Bailey

A gifted film writer, critic, and historian with an engaging, inquisitive voice and bylines at such prestigious outlets as The New York Times, Vulture, The Playlist, and others, Jason Bailey is the editor-in-chief of the site Crooked Marquee. Additionally, the author of four books on film on such wide-ranging topics as Pulp Fiction and Richard Pryor, Jason's fifth book, on one hundred years of New York in the movies - entitled Fun City Cinema - is slated to be released in the Fall of 2021 from Abrams.Having recently kicked off his entertainingly informative companion podcast (also called Fun City Cinema), I was so excited to talk to my longtime Twitter friend about all of this and more. From our mutual childhoods spending time raiding the film section of B. Dalton's and Walden Books in the '80s and '90s to his move to New York City and evolution as an eventual film writer, this all-encompassing chat is sure to delight.Note: While you'd normally have a new episode of my solo film podcast Watch With Jen today, between deadlines and recording several episodes of Watch With Jen & Friends this week ahead of the long weekend, I've pushed the solo pod out one week so you get another awesome conversation instead!Originally Posted on Patreon (on 9/4/20) with links to items mentioned here: https://www.patreon.com/posts/41243131Theme Music: Solo Acoustic Guitar by Jason Shaw, Free Music Archive
