On the Filmography in Focus Podcast, we dive deep into the filmography of directors, franchises and genres to bring the themes and techniques used into focus. We can then track either the evolution of these directors over time, or see what signature styles stay timeless. By viewing the complete body of work, we hope appreciate each individual standalone film more. Plus we get the chance to fill the holes in our host's movie watching credentials and catch up on directors, franchises and genres he *should* have seen by now.

    Show Notes

    TL;DL - I will be doing Filmography in Focus on an ad hoc basis so that I don't burn out my enjoyment for movies, and based on when we have films back in theaters that can seed my movie themes for each month. On hiatus until Chris Nolan's Tenet returns to theaters.
