The Monuments Men, a film with a heavyweight cast – Matt Damon, Bill Murray, Cate Blanchett, even John Goodman – is the result of a collaboration between George Clooney and Grant Heslov (with whom Clooney collaborated with for Goodnight and Good Luck). But is it a vanity project, an impending disaster, or a genuinely good flick?

Both actors, both producers, and both lovers of Art with a capital A, the two talk about the battles to preserve culture from the erosion of war and the of men who fought them; and plucking amazing stories from the annals of history.
