Each week, TCM Primetime Host Ben Mankiewicz will be joined by legendary guests including Lin-Manuel Miranda, Paul Giamatti, Rosie Perez, Nathan Lane among others to introduce the two films of their choice, offering commentary on the pairing’s cultural significance, its influence on other films, behind-the-scenes stories, and their own personal reflections. “Two for One” also explores the history, art form and allure of the double feature, a staple of moviegoing for decades.
Craig DiBiase, executive producer at Minus L said, “Capturing these interviews at the United Palace theatre provided a stunning backdrop for the filmmakers to engage in dialogue about classic films and the eras they represent.”
The return of this series created by the team at Turner Classic Movies will premiere this Saturday May 3rd at 8PM ET across broadcast, Max and the WATCH TCM app.
