Mankiewicz’s “Talking Pictures: A Movie Memories Podcast” has been renewed for Season 2 by TCM and Max. He announced the renewal on the Season 1 finale featuring guest Bill Hader, star, co-creator and director of HBO’s “Barry” and former “Saturday Night Live” cast member.
At the end of Tuesday’s podcast, Mankiewicz tells listeners, “So that’s a wrap on our first season of ‘Talking Pictures.’ I have loved every minute of it.
We’re going to go away for a bit and make some more episodes — but we’ll be back with more interviews, more movie memories and more Super 8 questionnaires.” In addition to Hader, guests in the 10-episode Season 1 of “Talking Pictures” included Mel Brooks, Nancy Meyers, Patty Jenkins, Emerald Fennell, Steven Soderbergh, Errol Morris, Damien Chazelle, Alexander Payne and Cord Jefferson (who recorded the episode prior to his adapted screenplay Oscar win for “American Fiction”).
