The one thing Peter Bogdanovich loved more than making movies was talking about them. And that is exactly what the late auteur does in a marvelous new podcast called One Handshake Away. It’s both a conversation and a cinematic séance featuring some of the most notable filmmakers of our day—Guillermo del Toro, Quentin Tarantino, Greta Gerwig, Rian Johnson, Ken Burns—in “conversation” with the legendary directors of Hollywood’s golden age, whom we know (thanks in no small part to Bogdanovich himself) by their last names—Ford, Hawks, Hitchcock, Welles. “It’s a journey that’s come full circle,” explains Louise Stratten, Bogdanovich’s wife for 13 years, whom he returned to toward the end of his life, and who is the co-pilot for the podcast, which debuted last week. —Sam Kashner
