Bradley Cooper joins the show to talk about Maestro, which he directed, co-wrote, co-produced, and stars in as conductor and composer Leonard Bernstein. The film is a towering love story -- tracing the lifelong relationship between Bernstein and his wife, Felicia Montealegre Cohn Bernstein (Carey Mulligan).
Cooper describes the film's genesis and why he and co-writer Josh Singer decided to focus the story around both Leonard and Felicia, digs into the extensive research process he went through to accurately capture their lives on film, and shares the process of transforming both physically and emotionally into the conductor.
He also breaks down a few of the film's key scenes, explains what he's learned from the many incredible directors he's worked with, and shares a favorite pastime.
