Director Showdown

Adam and Brent are back from their break to talk one of Taika’s most recent films, ‘Hunt for the Wilderpeople’! The guys talk about what they’ve been up to, comparisons between Wilderpeople and Waititi’s ‘Boy’, a ‘Sam Neill’ corner, and what they’ve been watching in quarantine! It’s just the boys this week, talking one of the best movies of 2016, we hope you enjoy and make sure to recommend the show to a friend or family member!

Adam and Brent are once-again joined by John and Delfin from ‘Countdown to Infinity’ to talk Thor: Ragnarok! The guys are back with their wealth of MCU and Marvel comics knowledge to talk one of the better MCU films. The guys get into a lot of Hollywood industry talk, the balance between making a producer-driven movie and being an auteur, and of course how Ragnarok is similar to ‘The Last Jedi’! It’s another extensive and thorough episode talking the MCU at large and Waititi’s first (likely of several) big Hollywood movies!

Brent and Adam are closing out the Cornetto trilogy with a bang, talking ‘The World’s End’ with some dynamite guests, John Casares and Emmanuel Delfin from Delfinpod! They get into the depth of ‘The World’s End’ compared to the other Cornetto films, which character they each think they are, and many, many other tangents. It’s a jam-packed episode (one of Director Showdowns longest yet) but a fun one. Thanks again for listening to the show and please rate/review/subscribe, wherever you get podcasts, and make sure to listen to all of the Deflin Pod shows, from Countdown to Skywalker/Infinity to Revenge of the Sequel!

Adam and Brent are joined by David Rodriguez once again to talk Taika Waititi’s 2015 vampire mockumentary ‘What We do in the Shadows’! The guys get into favorite movies in each genre, What various attractions one could find at ‘Waititi World’ (Brent’s is a KILLER joke, one of the best of the season) and what makes ‘Shadows’ a great mockumentary. It’s a fun episode talking one of the best comedies of the last decade (maybe Waititi’s funniest??) so we hope you watched along and enjoy!

Adam and Brent are talking Edgar Wright’s 3rd feature ‘Scott Pilgrim vs. the World’. They get into the multiple influences that go into making a movie this weird, celebrity crushes, action directing and a brief tangent about Michael Cera’s weird career! It’s a great episode on a (still) underappreciated gem of the early 2010’s, so we hope you enjoy!

Adam and Brent are back talking about Waititi and his sophomore effort ‘Boy’! They get into why and how the movie is a drastic improvement on Eagle vs Shark (no offense to lovers of that one), how getting vulnerable and personal helps with authenticity, and Waititi as an actor as well as writer/director. Also the many striking similarities to Spielberg’s ‘E.T.’ It’s maybe their favorite episode of the season yet, finding a lot of good thematic connections and comparisons to make to other unexpected films/properties. Again thank you for listening and tell a friend about the show, and STAY SAFE AND INDOORS!

Adam and Brent are back talking Edgar Wright with his second film, ‘Hot Fuzz’. The guys talk the many influences of Edgar Wright’s filmmaking, dense plotting of Hot Fuzz and if they think this is low-key Edgar Wright’s best movie! Also, which country is better: New Zealand or Great Britain!? Thank you all for listening, and make sure to spread the word to family and friends, and please STAY INSIDE UNTIL THIS BLOWS OVER! We love you guys!

Adam and Brent are once again joined by Erik Casarez to talk ‘Eagle vs Shark’, Taika Waititi’s debut film! The fellas talk about mid-to-late 2000’s indie films, the oddly massive impact of Napoleon Dynamite, and some of their issues with Waititi’s first film! It’s a fascinating first movie to start a career, as Waititi has grown into one of Hollywood’s biggest current “It” celebrities and creators.If you haven’t seen ‘Eagle vs Shark’ prior to the podcast (we wouldn’t be surprised) it’s worth a watch to see where Taika started and to chart how much he’s grown since. Stay safe and indoors out there everyone!

It’s finally time for Season 8 of Director Showdown: Edgar Wright vs. Taika Waititi, kicking things off with 2004’s ‘Shaun of the Dead’! We’re talking lighter fare this season, since the whole damn world is locked inside and quarantined. We’ve also been talking about covering comedy directors since practically the beginning, deciding on these two guys, each with their own careers climbing the zeitgeist and building interesting filmographies. On this season opener talking ‘Shaun of the Dead’, the guys lay out what’s coming ahead, get into Wright’s unique, and modern culmination of visual storytelling, foreshadowing and callbacks, and their favorite zombie movies! We hope you’ll join us with a nice, comfy quarantine season of entertaining comedies while we all wait for this to blow over!

Listen, you guys asked for it and here it is. Our shortest episode with a fittingly weird energy to discuss Tom Hooper’s cinematic travesty, ‘Cats’. We get into the financial loss of the movie, the indecision of any strong choices to make it something more interesting, and the inherent hubris of attempting a Cats cinematic adaptation in the first place. This will be our last bonus episode for season 7, and we’re getting under way with the next series ASAP (as we’re all locked away in quarantine anyway, might as well be productive!) Thanks so much for being patient with our chaotic release pattern and for spreading the show to friends and family, please continue to do so!
