49 分钟Our first guest on Talking Pictures is writer director Nancy Meyers (Something’s Gotta Give, It’s Complicated, The Holiday). Recorded at her home, host Ben Mankiewicz talks with Meyers about casting Jack Nicholson and Diane Keaton, getting script advice from Sunset Boulevard director Billy Wilder, and they discuss what it’s like to become famous for her interiors. Spoiler: it’s frustrating! Nancy Meyers also answers our Super 8 questionnaire and reveals which film had her running from the theater in absolute terror.

I'm excited to recommend a new podcast to you, talking pictures from TCM and Max.
The podcast features TCM host Ben Mankiewicz in conversation with iconic filmmakers and writers as they discuss their earliest film memories along with their favorite films, creative influences, and guilty pleasures.
After all, the best filmmakers of our time are film fans at their core, just like the rest of us.
And who wouldn't want to listen to Mel Brooks or Patty Jenkins uncover the movies that made them?
You'll get to hear both those filmmakers on upcoming episodes of the Talking Pictures podcast.
Right now, I'm excited to share the very first episode of Talking Pictures with you, which features a conversation with Nancy Myers.
Nancy Myers is a legend, and though you may be more familiar with the movies she's directed over the past 25 years and the coastal grandma fabulous kitchen aesthetics of movies like something's Gotta Get Give and it's complicated, her career goes back much further.
She was nominated for an Oscar for her first produced screenplay, Private Benjamin, in 1980, and if you follow her on Instagram, you've probably seen her post about her love of screwball comedies and other genres from Hollywood's first century.
I'm excited to hear her talk to Ben Mankiewicz about the movies she loves.
Without further ado, here is the first episode of Talking Pictures with Nancy Myers.
And make sure to go find the talking pictures feed and listen on Max or wherever you get your podcasts.
Hey, it's Ben Mankiewicz.
Hi, I'm Ben Mankiewicz.
Welcome to TCM.
Hi, I'm Ben Mankiewicz.
Thanks for staying up late with us on Turner classic movies.
I've been a host on Turner classic movies for 20 years now, and I have to tell you, it's still thrilling to talk to people about movies, to hear what they like and what they don't like, to find out what was going on in their lives when a particular film became important to them.
So I thought, why not have more of those conversations?
Why not have a podcast?
Everyone else has one.
