  • This season, both Bradley Cooper and Mahershala Ali are pulling off a double act. Cooper’s fans can see him in two period pieces: As the lead of “Nightmare Alley,” in which he plays a tormented mentalist desperate for validation in the 1940s traveling-carnival scene, and as a key supporting player in “Licorice Pizza,” in which he’s a deranged version of the producer Jon Peters. Ali’s double duty is more forward-looking, and more literal: In the futuristic sci-fi film “Swan Song,” the Oscar winner plays a dying man as well as the clone who may replace him.

    It's unfortunate they focused so much on Bradley Cooper, and didn't discuss Swan Song more, because Mahershala Ali's performance was amazing and powerful. Can't get enough of him on screen, and I can't recommend that movie highly enough.

    Two of my favorite actors working right now. To me Bradley Cooper will always be associated with Silver Linings Playbook, and how that role helped me when dealing with my own bipolar diagnosis. And Mahershala in Moonlight was brilliant. I remember watching him in the last two Hunger Games movies, and to see where he is now is awesome to see. I definitely need to check out their new films soon 👍🏽

    The last shot of Nightmare Alley summed up everything for me. I was wondering if there was some significance to the geek character during the movie. I asked myself how does human being end up in that position, not realizing I was watching it happen already to Bradley Cooper's character.

    Terrific to see actors of this caliber speak in such a humble way. Very insightful amd carefully thought out questions on behalf of Mahershala. I gotta say Bradley is such a gentleman and kind soul, the way he responded to questions by adding “we”, therefore also turning the spotlight on Mahershala for the audience to honor two actors and not one. By the looks of it Bradley is going to put some energy into giving us the opportunity to see them work together. I surely look forward to it! I can’t wait to see Mahershala as Blade he will be phenomenal.
