43. Stefan Moon - My Movie DNA

In episode 43, Johnny talks to Stefan Moon, the General Manager and Programmer at Auckland’s Academy Cinemas.

Their chat covers a long, lengthy (and mostly spoiler-free) discussion on Paul Thomas Anderson’s One Battle After Another, which they put into context with PTA’s other films, they tiptoe around the Woody Allen situation and whether it’ll ever be a good time to sing the praises of the 1998 animated film Antz, and after 43 episodes, Johnny finally gets to reveal his connection to George Clooney’s Ocean’s 11.

This conversation was recorded face to face in early October of 2025.
