The Contenders BONUS! – writer-director Rod Lurie
In this extra special Election Day bonus episode, the Addington siblings sit down with writer-director Rod Lurie to discuss his 2000 film THE CONTENDER, the namesake film of the podcast! Go behind the scenes of this groundbreaking and increasingly timely film about the first woman nominated to the American Vice Presidency — from directing Jeff Bridges post-Lebowski and giving space for Joan Allen’s incredible performance, to getting notes from Steven Spielberg. Join us as we circle back to the movie that started it all on the 20th anniversary of its release! (And go vote!)
