On the latest episode of this new Talkhouse Podcast spin-off series, host Nick Dawson sits
down with veteran actor, director, producer and writer Griffin Dunne, who is currently starring
in the family drama Ex-Husbands. Deviating from the usual, well-trodden interview path, the
two talk about uncertainty, mortality, the complex nature of grief, driving cross country at times
of great change, that time Griffin scared the living daylights out of Neil Simon, Nick’s idea for a
secret eighth day of the week, how Chekhov changed the course of Dunne’s life and career,
and much more. For more filmmakers talking film and TV, visit Talkhouse at

Kit Sebastian with Pearl & The Oysters
This week's episode of the Talkhouse Podcast came together by way of my colleague and friend Keenan Kush, who jokingly referred to the music of today’s guests as "Keenan-core." We’ve got a conversation between the duos Kit Sebastian and Pearl & The Oysters.
Kit Sebastian came together in London, but their musical (and even geographical) pedigrees are spread much wider. Kit Martin and Merve Erdem, now based in Turkey and France, play music that reflects their locations. Tropicalia and psychedelic pop flirt with an array of other influences to create something that sounds almost out of time. Their latest album New Internationale came out last year on Flying Lotus’ Brainfeeder label, and it adds Azerbaijani and some funk to the mix. Check out the track “Faust” right here.
Pearl & The Oysters is also a duo with international roots, having moved from France over a decade ago to Florida, but ending up in Los Angeles. Jazz and Tropicalia also inform their indie pop, and they also ended up on a hip label run by another musician: In this case, Peanut Butter Wolf's Stones Throw. Juliette Pearl Davis and Joachim Polack—sometimes known as Juju and Jojo—put out a great album last year called Planet Pearl. Check out “Side Quest” from that album right here.
In this wide-ranging conversation, these two duos talk about their geographic moves and sounds, analog vs. digital recording, favorite filmmakers, and how one cold email kickstarted Kit Sebastian. Enjoy.
