    Magic Mike XXL (2015) with Marie Bardi-Salinas

    Get ready for one (second-to-)last ride! We're hopping on the food truck with the Kings of Tampa to talk MAGIC MIKE XXL, Greg Jacobs's 2015 sequel to MAGIC MIKE, on which Soderbergh served as both cinematographer and editor. Returning to the show is our pal, movie person and social media producer Marie Bardi! We talk nontoxic masculinity, female pleasure, the film's response to race-based criticism of MAGIC MIKE, and whether the Kings can be considered a leaderless worker collective. Grab your cheetos and water and give it a listen.

    The Hunger Games (2012)

    May the pods be ever in your feed-ver. Or whatever! We're screwing with the chronology a little bit today because we decided Steven Soderbergh's second unit work on Gary Ross's 2012 YA adaptation THE HUNGER GAMES was worth doing on the main feed after all. And we were right! There's a ton to talk about, from the film's style and what it means to try to find Soderbergh in it to the whole series's depictions of class, political struggle, war, and propaganda, to the popularity of dystopian young adult fiction, to the effectiveness of "political" art like ANDOR and ONE BATTLE AFTER ANOTHER, to the surprisingly enduring legacy of Hunger Games imagery in real protest movements around the world, to how much this film (and later ones in the series especially) remind us of Gaza. Good stuff, please check it out.

    The Knick Season 1 (2014) with Dave Maher

    TV time! Almost immediately after "retiring" from feature films, Steven Soderbergh directed ten episodes of THE KNICK, a period medical drama for Cinemax about the early days of modern surgery. Joining us to talk about nearly ten hours of television is comedian and host of the podcast This Is Your Afterlife, Dave Maher! We have a wide-ranging discussion covering everything from prestige television antiheroes to addiction to chronic illness to racial disparities in medical care to what Kimi would like to do with Dave if she ever gets him alone. It's a real fun extra-long episode, and still probably our lowest ep-length-to-subject-length ratio ever. Take off your white shoe and dig in!

    Behind The Candelabra (2013) with Eva Anderson

    Shine up those rhinestones, everybody: it's the BEHIND THE CANDELABRA episode. We're talking Soderbergh's sort-of-final film before his sort-of-retirement, a 2013 Liberace biopic starring Michael Douglas and Matt Damon - and we're joined by writer and Liberace expert Eva Anderson! We talk Vegas, camp, Douglas's infamous throat cancer disclosure, plastic surgery, palimony, the closet, Eva's absolutely insane experiences touring Liberace's home and other associated places, and lots more. You know what they say... too much of a good thing is wonderful (also unfamiliar to listeners of this show). Further Reading: Behind the Candelabra: My Life with Liberace by Scott Thorson and Alex Thorleifson Liberace: An American Boy by Darden Asbury Pyron The Celluloid Closet: Homosexuality in the Movies by Vito Russo "Michael Douglas on Liberace, Cannes, cancer and cunnilingus" by Xan Brooks "The Boy Toy's Story" by David Segal Further Viewing: DRACULA (various) SUNSET BOULEVARD (Wilder, 1950) THE INFORMANT!
