I'm David Marchese.
And I'm Lulu Garcia Navarro.
And we're the hosts of the interview from The New York Times.
David and I have spent our careers interviewing some of the most interesting and influential people in the world.
Which means we know when to ask tough questions and when to just sit back and listen.
And now we've teamed up to have these conversations every week.
We'll try to reveal something about the people shaping our world.
And we'll get some great stories from them too.
It's the interview from The New York Times.
Listen wherever you get your podcasts.
I'm Gilbert Cruz, and this is The Sunday Special.
We're spending this last couple of episodes of the year looking back on some of the big cultural moments of 2025.
Today, we're talking movies.
I have two extremely knowledgeable colleagues here with me.
Alyssa Wilkinson is a movie critic at The Times.
Hello, Alyssa.
Hello, Gilbert.
And Nicole Sperling reports on the movie business and she joins us from Los Angeles.
Very appropriately.
Welcome, Nicole.
