"Materialists" is the new film from Academy Award-winner Celine Song, following the acclaim of her beloved directorial debut 2023 film "Past Lives." Starring Dakota Johnson, Chris Evans, and Pedro Pascal, the romantic film explores love, dating, and matchmaking in contemporary New York with depth and resonance in a way few other filmmakers would dare to tell such a story. Song was kind enough to return to the podcast and spend some time speaking with us about her work and experience making the film, which you can listen to below. Please be sure to check out the film, which will open in theaters on June 13th from A24. Thank you, and enjoy!
