Here's a podcast that takes you (and us) on a real trip. We start with "A Star is Born." It's the blockbuster starring Bardley Cooper and Lady Gaga. It's about the 4th time this story has been told by Hollywood but what makes this one different? Can Lady Gaga act? Can Bradley Cooper direct? We'll tell you what we think. There's also "First Man" starring Ryan Gosling as Neil Armstrong and Claire Foy ("The Crown") as his wife, Janet. It's directed by Damien Chazelle, who did "LaLa Land." Does it get off the ground or is it a failure to launch? And all of this happens while we're at the Hamptons International Film Festival. We talk to all sorts of interesting filmmakers about their very varied and interesting movies, all of which were impressive enough to be chosen for this prestigious film festival. Somehow they let us in too. So climb aboard, it's quite a ride!
