Amanda was cooking on The Brutalist pod

(1:10:00)

Sean: (trying to sum up Brady Corbet's thesis) "To be in the world of art, especially at this high a level, you are constantly being evaluated and re-evaluated and used."

Amanda: "Give me a fucking break. I mean, honestly. I have no patience (for that). I am sure that's true - you also got to make the movie."

Sean: (uncertain) "Sure, yeah."

Amanda: 'I don't know. Is the movie good enough?"

Sean: (ignores Amanda's question) "He has been very circumspect on what happened on "Vox Lux. He wrote that in the immediate aftermath of that movie. I don't know if he didn't get final cut. It clearly pissed both of them off, him and his partner Mona. And this thing that they threw themselves into."

Pause.

Sean: "The ONLY reason you are, like, "come on" is that this film might win Best Picture. If this was just an independent movie, and A24 didn't buy it ..."

Amanda: "No, because, first of all, I saw Vox Lux and, second of all, it asks for 3.5 hours of my time."
