What Would Kate Do? (specifically Kate Winslet, as an actress )
Real & funny talk about Kate Winslet and how her acting work & related choices promote the hard work of acting, being present as an actor, getting the most out of (and giving the most to) the other actors in the room, female empowerment and characterization, evolution of female strength, and more. This podcast is for fun & education, and not for monetary purposes. Because I love acting and Kate Winslet! She's the best free actors' guide ever! Excuse me as we iron out the kinks and try to find our "vision" of this podcast and how it relates to what Kate would do as an actress. This isn't a movie or film review podcast. It's about how Kate maximizes the potential of the character and the movie by using the hard work involved with the acting process, about her choices as an actress, and her technical, emotional, and physical resources while playing a character (thanks Juan). Let us know your feedback by emailing whatwouldkatedo [AT] shaw.ca. What do you want more of, in the context of this podcast? We want to add even more focus on what Kate's acting and roles, and how she embodies the characters, have done to progress female empowerment, at the time each movie or TV show was filmed.Thank you Rumble House https://www.facebook.com/rumblehouseliveart/ for doing the podcast artwork for us!

Excited to be back for another episode of What Would Kate Do. We have a most amazing guest and interviewer: Anne from Germany. Anne & I met because of our interest in the Liverpool Football Club, but as we talked more, we discovered another even greater mutual interest: Movies, their stories, and that our favorite actress is Kate Winslet...
To celebrate the 30th anniversary of 1994’s Heavenly Creatures starring Kate Winslet and Melanie Lynskey, my podcast “What Would Kate Do?” looks back at this movie from an acting perspective. But I was stalling on recording it, thinking what could I possibly learn from an acting perspective that we haven’t already learned from Kate in the most powerful ways since then. Then I realized there are similarities between this film and th...
"Bless our love, always." To celebrate The Regime starring Kate Winslet & Matthias Schoenaerts, coming out in the U.K. on April 8, and now that I've seen 5/6 episodes, I can go more into "What Would Kate Do". This is not a review nor are there spoilers. It's about what we can learn from Kate from an acting perspective. Can you guess who the child is that says "sorry" in the clip at the ...
Listen to this BEAUTIFUL discussion with @unsinkable in a co-hosted podcast about Kate Winslet in The Holiday from 2006!
Kate uses her real accent in this film (apparently for the first time in her career), but seems to play a real version of herself (down to earth, compassionate, goofy / real sense of humor). Thanks Brenda ( @kleoofdreams on Twitter) for suggesting that this movie allowed "more of Kate's persona...
Welcome back, and welcome to Season 2!
Yay! Now that the SAG-AFTRA strike is over, I'm able to talk about LEE, Kate Winslet's film directed by Ellen Kuras, where Kate is real life WWII photojournalist Lee Miller. NO SPOILERS in this podcast. I'm so lucky to be able to see this film 4 times at TIFF (2 times at the public viewings, and 2 times as press & industry). Should note that a reason I got in as pr...
Update: Thanks to some amazing Kate Winslet & genuine movie fans, I was able to get a ticket to each of the public Lee screenings. So I was able to see Lee 4 times at TIFF (2 public, 2 press/industry). And I did post purely a review of Lee (read on my Twitter @ahung ). But I won't be able to talk further about Lee nor promote it until the strike is over.

Probably a complete shock that not only did I do this movie for this podcast, but it's one of my favorite Kate Winslet performances, even in its very short segment run time of about 7 minutes 50 seconds. I'M SORRY to Kate who probably doesn't want to remember this film, but from an acting perspective, it's awesome. (There, I said it). Should note that I've ONLY watched Kate's part in this film, never b...
Episode 5 of "What Would Kate Do", as in what would Kate Winslet do as an actress, is about the 2011 HBO mini-series Mildred Pierce, directed by Todd Haynes. This series is an absolute actors' paradise. Also stars Guy Pearce (Kate's childhood crush!), Evan Rachel Wood (amazing), Brian F. O'Byrne, and Mare Winningham. You're in for a treat!
Note that there are SPOILERS of Mildred Pierce in this...
A quick episode to talk about "What would Kate Do?" (i.e. what would Kate Winslet do as an actress) in the recently released first trailer for HBO's 2024 series The Regime (formerly known as The Palace, but the name was probably changed to avoid conflict with another series). Even in this under 2 minutes trailer, we learn so much by (over, ha ha) analyzing what we can learn from Kate from an acting perspective, how s...
Episode 3 of "What Would Kate Winslet do?" focuses on the 2017 movie "The Mountain Between Us" starring Kate Winslet & Idris Elba, directed by Hany Abu-Assad, and based on the 2010 book by Charles Martin.

Saskia Inwood woke up one morning, knowing her life would never be the same. The night before, she learned the unimaginable – that the husband she knew in the light of day was a different person after dark. This season unpacks Saskia’s discovery of her husband’s secret life and her fight to bring him to justice. Along the way, we expose a crime that is just coming to light. This is also a story about the myth of the “perfect victim:” who gets believed, who gets doubted, and why. We follow Saskia as she works to reclaim her body, her voice, and her life.
