#90. Caleb Alexander Smith & David Krumholtz On Fame, Superheroes & FORELOCK
Filmmaker and actor Caleb Alexander Smith (The Catch, Modern Family) and his co-star David Krumholtz (Oppenheimer, The Santa Clause, Supergirl) join his episode of the the Movies In Focus podcast to discuss their thought provoking new film, Forelock. It’s a work that could easily slip under the radar in today’s crowded cinematic landscape - and that would be a massive shame.
Forelock strikes an impressive balance: it deftly engages with the modern superhero conversation while simultaneously echoing the raw humanity and urban melancholy of the 1969 classic, Midnight Cowboy.
This conversation dives into the Forelock's unique rhythm, its artistic intent, and how both Smith and Krumholtz approached creating something that really manages to resonate.
