Clear The Set: Why Yelena Hates The Wolf of Wall Street
Description
Hello, Hello!
In this Clear the Set, filmmaker Yelena Popovic joins us for our "Clear the Set" rapid-fire Q&A segment, sharing her top three films, including "Empty" by Sydney Lumet, "The Asphalt Jungle" by John Huston, and "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest." She discusses films she's embarrassed not to have seen, movies everyone loves that she hates, and her go-to McDonald's cheat meal order. The conversation takes interesting turns as both host and guest bond over their perspectives on film criticism and life philosophy.
We also talk about:
• Classic cinema and the pressure to have seen "canon" films like Tarkovsky's work
• Why "The Wolf of Wall Street" failed as a cautionary tale
• Script quality issues in popular Hollywood films
• The balance between healthy living and enjoying life's pleasures
• Personal anecdotes about late-night fast food binges
Mentioned:
One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest
