Hey, and welcome Back to the A24 podcast.
We've been trying to get First Cow director Kelly Reitgard on the podcast for the better part of a year, and we finally found her perfect match in brilliant writer, director and playwright Kenneth Lonergan.
Kelly and Kenny have notably both directed Michelle Williams in some of her greatest performances.
So we were surprised to hear that this was their first time meeting.
Speaking of which, we're thrilled to announce we're getting ready to make Kelly's next film showing up, which will also star Michelle and shoots this summer.
We hope you enjoy this conversation between Kelly and Kenny, featuring special guest, Brownie the Dog.

Should we just start?
Okay.
Hi, I'm Kenneth Lonergan talking to Kelly.
