    Spielberg Starts DreamWorks & Bonus Review: 13 Assassins

    A new era of Spielberg’s career was launched when he partnered with Jeffrey Katzenberg and David Geffen to start a brand new studio from scratch: DreamWorks SKG. I talk through the history of this endeavor and what it means for Spielberg’s career. I also do a bonus review of the 2010 samurai film 13 Assassins, a movie chosen for review by a supporter of the show.  https://www.establishingshotpod.com/  Feedback: Email us at establishingshotpod@gmail.com 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/  Follow Eli and the Show: Eli on Twitter (X): https://twitter.com/theeliprice Eli on Letterboxd: https://letterboxd.com/eliprice Show on Twitter: https://twitter.com/EShotPod Show on Instagram: https://instagram.com/establishingshotpod Show on Threads: https://www.threads.net/@establishingshotpod Show on Facebook: https://facebook.com/establishingshotpod Show on TikTok: https://tiktok.com/@establishingshotpod Show on YouTube: https://youtube.com/@EstablishingShotPod Other 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 Haskell

    Amistad

    Spielberg’s Amistad, the telling of a true historical event in which enslaved Africans took over their slave ship and were then captured and put on trial to determine their freedom, has some things going for it. It looks great, the acting is really good (phenomenal, in fact, for Djimon Hounsou in his breakout role), and the design of the film is on par with any good historical drama. However, there can be problems that arise when a white filmmaker takes on a story that should be centered around the enslaved people, problems that I think cause this to be a bit of a misstep for the beloved director. I discuss all this and more in this episode. https://www.establishingshotpod.com/  Feedback: Email us at establishingshotpod@gmail.com 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/  Follow Eli and the Show: Eli on Twitter (X): https://twitter.com/theeliprice Eli on Letterboxd: https://letterboxd.com/eliprice Show on Twitter: https://twitter.com/EShotPod Show on Instagram: https://instagram.com/establishingshotpod Show on Threads: https://www.threads.net/@establishingshotpod Show on Facebook: https://facebook.com/establishingshotpod Show on TikTok: https://tiktok.com/@establishingshotpod Show on YouTube: https://youtube.com/@EstablishingShotPod Other 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 Haskell - Courtland Milloy's Review of Amistad: https://www.washingtonpost.com/archive/local/1997/12/14/amistad-through-a-different-lens/aaf8318e-93ab-44f9-93ce-2a6d92e08191/

    The Lost World: Jurassic Park ( w/ Jean-Pierre Boudreaux)

    A few years after the most successful year of his entire career, Spielberg released what he called his first true sequel in The Lost World: Jurassic Park. Our discussion revolves around the fun elements of this film and it’s development as well as some of the major problems with its story. My guest really likes this Jurassic Park installment where I didn’t care for it too much, which made for a fun debate.
