Richard Donner interviewed on Leonard Maltin's podcast

A few weeks ago on Leonard Maltin's podcast, Richard Donner was the guest, and he talked with Leonard about his career. For about half of the podcast, they talk about Richard's TV career before he got started with films in the 1970s. Then they talked a little about The Omen, Superman, and then The Goonies. Lethal Weapon was discussed for a bit, too.

There was also a discussion about Inside Moves, which features some characters with disabilities. Donner talks about casting Harold Russell in that film because he was a fan of his performance in Best Years of Our Lives. Donner tells the story that Russell wouldn't do the film unless they changed his character's name from "Hooks" to "Wings". I haven't seen this film yet but am putting it on my list.

Here's a link to the podcast if interested:
