About this episode
On the latest episode of the Talkhouse Podcast , the creator-star of Hulu’s Ramy , comedian Ramy Youssef, talks with Dina Amer, whose debut feature as writer-director, You Resemble Me , is in theaters now. The film is a lightly fictionalized, emotionally resonant portrait of Hasna Aït Boulahcen, a radicalized Muslim who Amer covered as a journalist in 2015 when Boulahcen was implicated in the Paris terrorist attacks. In an engaging, wide-ranging conversation, Youssef and Amer – fellow Egyptian-Americans who have been friends for years – talk about the personal nature of You Resemble Me , the major deal Dina turned down, Spike Lee’s take on her doing the film her way, casting a “hot” actor as a terrorist, and much more.
