Hello everyone! I am no longer putting out episodes via Libsyn, they are now hosted right here at my Substack. Formerly known as the 5 Years Substack, this is now the hub for all-things Director’s Club including a new URL. Learn about all this and more during my 8-minute preamble before we get to the subject at hand - indeed a very special one since today’s guest is responsible for my favorite film of 2024 (soon to be released next year so stay tuned).

I was lucky enough to spend a half hour talking with director Joel Potrykus, responsible for films that both Patrick and I have loved in the past particularly Buzzard and Relaxer which contain the same lead actor Joshua Burge. Burge and Potrykus are co-leads in his latest film, Vulcanizadora and we talk all about the experience of putting it all together and much more. We avoid spoilers so I encourage you to listen to this interview and seek out his work ASAP. Thank you to all for listening, the continued support and looking forward to sharing all content here from this point onward.
