Directors Commentary with Mike Flanagan

Such a great podcast from the legend in horror himself - Mike Flanagan. As a script writer and horror geek, I found each interview informative, eye-opening and extremely inspiring. You learn so much listening to the people behind such interesting and varied horror movies. I can’t wait to see who else Mike ropes in for future eps.

When I heard that Mike Flanagan was doing a podcast, I knew that I’d have to listen to it- one of the most intelligent, humanist and empathetic of filmmakers talking to other filmmakers? I mean, come on…. It’s every bit as good as I expected- in fact, better. Flanagan doesn’t let the fact that he is a filmmaker get in the way of asking the questions that the rest of us would want to be asked and because of his knowledge and experience, it’s clear that the people he is talking to, feel very comfortable with him and can be candid. The commentaries are great- the Karyn Kusama commentary for The Invitation is actually better than the commentary on the Blu Ray and to be honest, any time Karyn Kusama gets a chance to talk about movies, then I’m 100% in, anyway, but his interviews with her are also really insightful. Can’t wait to hear who he talks to next.
