Sam Clements is curating a fictional film festival. He'll accept almost anything, but the movie must not be longer than 90 minutes. This is the 90 Minutes Or Less Film Fest podcast.

In episode 153 Sam is joined by filmmaker Rian Johnson, director of Brick, Looper, Star Wars: The Last Jedi, Knives Out, and Glass Onion. His new movie Wake Up Dead Man, the third in the Knives Out trilogy, is streaming now on Netflix.

Rian has chosen Trouble in Paradise (83 mins). Directed by Ernst Lubitsch, the 1932 film stars Miriam Hopkins, Kay Francis, and Herbert Marshall.

Sam and Rian discuss the influences on Wake Up Dead Man, under-appreciating Trouble in Paradise on first watch, and the enduring appeal of Ernst Lubitsch.
