On the latest episode of the Talkhouse Film podcast, filmmaker and regular Talkhouse Film contributor Terence Nance sits down for an intimate conversation with one of his favorite directors, Michel Gondry, whose latest film, Microbe and Gasoline, is in theaters now. The two discuss a variety of topics – including deep dives into music and romantic relationships, as well as film – and touch on such topics as the secret to Dave Chapelle’s comic genius and to Noam Chomsky’s romantic appeal, how Gondry played the drums with Paul McCartney and Kanye West, Gondry’s fear of jokes and his love of the word “both,” and much more.
