Naman Ramachandran Jon Hamm, Ryan Coogler and Molly Shannon are among the luminaries headlining a new podcast that reunites former Sundance Film Festival directors John Cooper and Tabitha Jackson. Titled “The Film That Blew My Mind,” the first season of the podcast will have 20 episodes and will be co-hosted by Cooper and Jackson.
Each episode centers around a guest revealing one film that has affected them profoundly, with Cooper and Jackson examining the ways the film intersects with the guest’s own work and life. Guests and their selected films for the first season include: Gregg Araki on David Lynch’s “Firewalk with Me” (1993); Ryan Coogler on Jacques Audiard’s “A Prophet” (2009); Bridget Everett on Robert Wise’s “The Sound of Music” (1965); Joseph Gordon-Levitt on Byron Howard and Jared Bush’s “Encanto” (2021); Jon Hamm on Giuseppe Tornatore’s “Cinema Paradiso” (1988); Sterlin Harjo on Robert Altman’s “The Long Goodbye” (1973); Kirsten Johnson on Bob Fosse’s “All That Jazz” (1979); Jinkx Monsoon on Joseph L.
Mankiewicz’s “About Eve” (1950); Molly Shannon on Victor Fleming’s “The Wizard of Oz” (1939); and Michael Showalter on Joan Micklin Silver’s “Crossing Delancey” (1988). Cooper’s 30-year Sundance career culminated in a decade-long run as festival director.
Jackson, after stints at the U.K.’s BBC, Channel 4 and Film4, went on to lead the Sundance Documentary Program in 2013 before serving as Sundance festival director from 2020-2022. “As recovering festival directors, we knew that we wanted to celebrate the cultural power of cinema.
But the intimate details that come from the stories of our guests make this feel unexpected. What this is really about is the crazy messy business of being human,” Cooper and Jackson

After an ambitious fourth season in 2020 that arguably drifted into something different from what Noah Hawley had produced before in his Coen Brothers-inspired “Fargo,” the fifth chapter of this twisted anthology series returns to the roots of the film that gives it a title. It’s as if Hawley and his team put some of the basic elements of the 1996 Oscar winner on a whiteboard—kidnapped housewife, pair of bumbling criminals (one foreign), car salesman husband, kindly Minnesotan police officer, etc.—and then figured out how to warp them through their funhouse mirror approach to Coen-esque black comedy.
