Johanna Schneller: Star Whisperer
Manage episode 404721533 series 3425756
Why does the serious man movie always get the nod? On the eve of the Oscars, Johanna Schneller says some things don’t change. Hence Oppenheimer getting the glory and Greta Gerwig and Margot Robbie getting snubbed. Wendy and Mo have different thoughts on the movie, but really? Barbie was huge! We talk to Johanna about Girl Power, why we love celebrities, and why Mean Girls may go on forever. But don’t worry, there are lots of reveals about getting famous people to open up.
Johanna is one of the top entertainment journalists in the world. We read her in the Globe & Mail, but also Vanity Fair, GQ, IN Style. She’s profiled Brad Pitt, Robert Downey Jr., Liam Neeson, Julia Roberts. She’s a screenwriter, with 4 major adapted screenplays, hosted The Filmmakers for CBC and TVO’s Saturday Night at the Movies! She’s co-written books about Toronto mayor Rob Ford, and transgender cyclist Kristen Worley. And, most recently The Last Doctor: Lessons in Living from the Front Lines of Medical Assistance in Dying. Johanna is married to writer Ian Brown, they have two children, including their son Walker, who was born with a rare and serious genetic disorder.
