About this listen

This week, Kim sits down with Academy Award–nominated cinematographer Autumn Durald Arkapaw, who made history with Sinners as the first woman of color nominated for the Oscar for Best Cinematography. She discusses her work on the film and how it evolved from a scrappy 16mm concept into a full-scale IMAX spectacle at the studio’s urging. She also addresses the mounting strain on crews as production continues to leave Los Angeles, and why meaningful opportunities for women in film remain notably scarce.

Plus, Masters and Matt Belloni unpack a less than ideal week for Paramount as the company continues its effort to win over shareholders at Warner Bros, beginning with CBS pulling the plug on Stephen Colbert’s planned interview with Texas state rep James Talarico. Network lawyers cited new FCC guidance on political candidates appearing on talk shows, a move that drove Colbert to post the segment on YouTube, outside the regulator’s reach. The banter partners also examine the departure of Anderson Cooper after nearly two decades at 60 Minutes, another high-profile shift inside the David Ellison led news division.
