June Squibb and Fred Hechinger interview (Thelma)
Oscar-nominee June Squibb and co-star Fred Hechinger – who we'll also see in the upcoming Gladiator II – delight in this Popcorn Podcast episode about their new film, Thelma. Inspired by a real-life experience of writer and director Josh Margolin’s own grandmother, Thelma puts a clever spin on movies like Mission: Impossible with an elderly grandmother as an unlikely action hero. In our warm and fuzzy chat, Squibb and Hechinger share their admiration for each other; why Hechinger “tickles” Squibb; and stunt advice for Tom Cruise. We hope you enjoy this absolutely delightful conversation. Know someone who loves movies?

Josh Margolin interview (Thelma)
Josh Margolin, the writer and director of Sundance darling Thelma, pops by to talk about his celebrated ‘geriaction’ film. A twist on the classic “one last job” flick, Thelma follows a feisty 93-year-old grandmother (June Squibb) who gets conned by a phone scammer pretending to be her grandson (Fred Hechinger) and sets out on a treacherous quest across Los Angeles to reclaim what was taken from her. In a wonderful conversation, Margolin shares dedicating Thelma to his grandma; the inherent tension of June Squibb performing her own stunts; and how his improvisation background helped influence the movie.Know someone who loves movies?
