Gives a great perspective on a large range of films across so many different times. I love that you watch the films before you record in order to keep the experience fresh. I’ve learned about so many directors listening to this and have added multiple films to my library. While I feel you do a great job with calling out some of the social complexities in films, whether it’s Sam Peckinpah and his treatment of women or how Wes Anderson can be a bit of a cultural tourist, I would love to see more episodes about POC writer/ directors, especially as a black film student and writer director myself. Great show, already recommended it to hella classmates. And here’s a list of a few that I would love to hear analysis on: Barry Jenkins, Ava Duvernay, Taika Waititi, Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu, Guillermo del Toro, Spike Lee, Jordan Peele, John Singletary.

Two articulate but down to earth guys talking about a different movie writer/director each month. Not only is the podcast entertaining and insightful but the films and directors I've been guided to as a result of it have also provided many hours of awesome entertainment.

i guess that would be news to you guys...

Discovered during the most savage hours of work. Completely saved the day.

Really glad I stumbled across this. Despite the erudite name, this podcast is simply two regular guys going on a deep dive discussion of movies through the weekly discussion of one specific filmmaker. Loosely formatted in a way that isn't too tight nor too loose or rambling - both hosts do a great job of mixing research, history, discussion, and straight up opinion. And... JJ Abrams composed the "Felicity" theme... who knew???

A great podcast for any movie lover. Funny and well-researched. The name sounds pretentious until you hear them try to pronounce 'auteur' and then you know they're just a couple of down-to-earth guys that love film. Give it a listen!

This is a must listen for anyone interested in film, definitely provides a deep and insightful view into the works of different filmmakers.
