Director's Club

We welcome independent filmmaker Collin Souter of Efilmcritic.com (who also makes a regular appearance on Nick Digilio's radio show on WGN).  Our director for this episode is the young, incredibly esoteric David Gordon Green.  In addition to talking about the movies we watched this week and reading a suggestion from a listener, we explore the most acclaimed of DGG’s filmography, which also happens to be his earliest work.  We focus on GEORGE WASHINGTON and have a heated debate with ALL THE REAL GIRLS.  In addition, we try to rationalize DGG's choice to direct YOUR HIGHNESS as well.  As always, send all feedback and your thoughts on DGG or any director to: [email protected]

This week we welcome Andrew James of Rowthree.com (who also hosts one of our favorite podcasts, the Cinecast Podcast). We embark on an epic-length discussion the visionary Spanish auteur Pedro Almodovar. Then we launch into the most-beloved and acclaimed of his filmography, focusing on ALL ABOUT MY MOTHER & TALK TO HER.

This is a first for us, as we both tackle a director we knew nothing about. Kurt Halfyard, of Row Three/Cinecast, recommended that we check out a filmmaker named Joseph Losey. And boy, are we ecstatic about the new discovery! We have plenty to say about Losey's work, mainly focusing on THE PROWLER & THE SERVANT. Overall, we couldn't be more pleased with the discussion we had.
