In this episode, Film Forum Presents a hilarious conversation between filmmaker Jonathan Lynn and Film Forum’s Director of Repertory Programming Bruce Goldstein, following a special screening on December 11, 2018 of Lynn’s 1992 modern comedy classic, MY COUSIN VINNY, starring Joe Pesci and Marisa Tomei. Their entertaining and broad-ranging chat covers Lynn’s career as a writer/director (CLUE, NUNS ON THE RUN) and author (Comedy Rules, Samaritans), as well as, to Lynn’s good-sporting chagrin, his early years as an actor (Bar Mitzvah Boy, Orson’s Bag).
