The Establishing Shot episodes
- Approaches to Film Viewing (w/ Sam Camp)
We discuss some of our approaches to film viewing. We tackle questions concerning motivations for watching films, how to choose what to watch, how we process films, and how we determine if a film is good or not. We also share some recommended resources to help with your film viewing experience. This is by no means the definitive film viewing treatise but just two normal people who love movies sharing our experience.

Its success is due to the incredible visual and narrative storytelling alongside the innovative special effects that wowed crowded theaters. We talk all of this and more in our discussion of this strangely optimistic film about UFOs, aliens, and strange people who are obsessed with something they can’t quite understand.https://www.establishingshotpod.com/Feedback:Email us at [email protected]Leave a voicemail from the button on the right side of the screen on our website https://www.establishingshotpod.com/Support the Show:Join The Establishing Shot Family for early, ad-free episodes, bonus content, and access to our Discord server where we talk movies all the time: https://www.establishingshotpod.com/support/Guest Info:Sam CampThe Collisionhttps://thecollision.org/Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@TheCollisionbmiTwitter (X): https://twitter.com/TheCollisionBMIInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/thecollisionbmi/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TheCollisionBMIFollow Eli and the Show:Eli on Twitter (X): https://twitter.com/theelipriceEli on Letterboxd: https://letterboxd.com/elipriceShow on Twitter: https://twitter.com/EShotPodShow on Instagram: https://instagram.com/establishingshotpodShow on Facebook: https://facebook.com/establishingshotpodShow on TikTok: https://tiktok.com/@establishingshotpodShow on YouTube: https://youtube.com/@EstablishingShotPodOther Links:My Letterboxd Ranking of Spielberg Films: https://letterboxd.com/eliprice/list/elis-ranking-of-steven-spielbergs-directorial/Research Resources:- Steven Spielberg All the Films: The Story Behind Every Movie, Episode, and Short by Arnaud Devillard, Olivier Bousquet, Nicolas Schaller- Steven Spielberg: A Life in Films by Molly Haskell2 hr 30 min
- Creature Feature Movie Draft (w/ Daniel Blackaby)
To accompany our discussion of Jaws last week, we did a Creature Feature Movie Draft! Creature Features are generally any film where a creature of some sort (beast, vampire, alien, zombie, etc.) is the main antagonist. We drafted 5 movies each and ended up with some great lists and fun discussions. Tune in to hear how the draft turned out, and look for the poll to vote for your favorite draft on our social media platforms!

Jaws marks both the breakout of Steven Spielberg’s illustrious career and the beginning of the summer blockbuster. From crazy production stories to camera work to efficient character building and more, this discussion with guest Daniel Blackaby really encompasses a ton about what makes Spielberg such a great director. We also discuss if the dawn of the summer blockbuster has ultimately been good or bad for cinema (or both).

Storytelling is a vital element of filmmaking. It is done in through the written narrative, the visuals, the sound, the performances, the camera work, and so much more. This week, I discuss storytelling, especially as it relates to children, with elementary school media specialist Shannon Burge. Before that, I review a movie chosen by some supporters of the show: About Time. Spoiler alert: I really enjoyed it! If you want to pick a movie for me to review, you can become a supporter too (see link below)!

Spielberg’s first theatrically released feature film, The Sugarland Express, showed many signs of what was to come for the young director. In this episode I discuss the many Spielberg-ian themes, character traits, camera techniques, and knack for scale and adventure that was already evident in this early movie in his filmography.

My Letterboxd Ranking of 2023 Films: https://letterboxd.com/eliprice/list/2023-ranked/2 hr 10 min - Duel (w/ Dave Lester)
Steven Spielberg’s Duel was never supposed to be as successful as it was. As a movie of the week TV feature in 1971, the 24 year old director gained the attention of critics and studios alike with a road thriller that begged to be on the big screen. We discuss this TV movie that launched his career along with briefly talking about his other two TV movies, Something Evil, a low budget, rural horror and Savage, a failed TV pilot episode.
