SEASON 2 - EPISODE 207 John Carroll Lynch - Actor / Director In this episode of the Team Deakins Podcast, we speak with actor and director John Carroll Lynch (BALLARD, LUCKY, FARGO). During our conversation, John tells us what originally drew him into acting, and we discuss an actor's function and place in film, television, and the theatre. As an actor, John has been directed by filmmakers ranging from Clint Eastwood to David Fincher to Ethan and Joel Coen (Season 1, Episode 33), and we discuss how he adapts to different methods of working. We later spend much of the episode discussing John's directorial debut, LUCKY, and we learn how he came to direct the film, how he worked with actor Harry Dean Stanton to develop a script based on his own life, and what it was about the film that attracted him to join in the first place. John also reflects on his experience directing the late David Lynch in the film, and we ask him what to expect in his next movie as a director. We worked with John on FARGO, and it was great catching up with him. - Recommended Viewing: LUCKY

They wore caps and gowns to celebrate the future — but before the night was over, some would lie dead in pools of blood, their dreams buried with them.EPISODE BLOG PAGE (includes sources): https://weirddarkness.com/capsgownscasketsREAD or DOWNLOAD the full transcript of this episode: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/4d8r6tb9FEATURED STORIES IN THIS EPISODE: Graduation is a special time in just about everyone's life when they make their way from childhood, to adulthood. And while that step might be a bit scary for some, we all get past it – we have to. But what if there is something truly to be afraid of at your graduation? Like the possibility of being murdered? (Murdered During Graduation) *** Joseph McKinnon strangled his girlfriend Patricia Dent, then died while trying to bury her body in their garden. (Killed By Karma) *** When you die, do you know that you are dead? A new study says that maybe… yes. You might still be conscious enough to know you are dead even after your body ceases to live. But for how long? (When You Die, You Are Conscious Long Enough To Know It) *** The term Zodiac in true crime circles invokes images of serial murder, cryptograms and bragging letters in and around San Francisco. But the California Zodiac is not the only Zodiac out there.

Copyright ©2026, Weird Darkness.Originally aired: May, 2022This episode of Weird Darkness, hosted by Darren Marlar, moves from a string of graduation celebrations that ended in murder to a comparison of the Korean and California Zodiac killers, a scientific claim that human consciousness lingers briefly after death, and the case of a South Carolina man who died burying the girlfriend he had just strangled.It opens with a survey of graduation celebrations turned deadly, beginning with the May 2020 party in southwest Indiana where 47-year-old William Baker carried a .30-06 rifle into a shed and shot 18-year-old South Dearborn High School graduate Paycin Kritlow in the back, claiming his daughter had been raped even though she and her friends denied any assault occurred, a killing that earned Baker a 55-year sentence in November 2021. The segment moves through Menhaz Zaman, a 24-year-old outside Toronto who murdered his father, mother, sister, and grandmother with a crowbar-like weapon and a knife the day before a York University graduation he had faked after failing out of Seneca College; the June 2020 shooting of 19-year-old Tyana Johnson in a Bronx park while her friend Ahamad Branch worked as the DJ; and the June 2017 ambush of Maryland teenagers Shadi Adi Najjar and Artem Ziberov, shot thirty times between them by a group who had searched online for a song called "I Kill for My Family" and killed over a stolen handful of marijuana. Other cases stretch across Pennsylvania, Mississippi, Ohio, South Carolina, and Louisiana, including 18-year-old Hailey Deickman, who died days before her high school graduation after Franklin Senfles sold her fentanyl she believed was oxycodone.From there, the show sets two very different Zodiac cases side by side. The first is the Korean "Zodiac Killer," the Hwaseong murders that began on September 15th, 1986 with the rape and strangling of 71-year-old Lee Wan-im and continued as women were strangled with their own clothing on dark rural roads, a case that drew a manhunt of more than 21,000 suspects and sent a disabled man named Yoon Sung-yeo to prison on a coerced confession, until DNA identified Lee Choon-jae in 2019, a man already jailed since 1995 who confessed to 14 murders and 30 rapes and had escaped suspicion because police wrongly believed the killer's blood was type B rather than his actual type O. Darren places that against the California Zodiac, who killed at least five people around San Francisco between 1968 and 1971, taunted newspapers with cryptograms and threats against schoolchildren, and drew suspicion onto former schoolteacher Arthur Leigh Allen without ever being caught. The segment weighs how each case reached the screen, contrasting Bong Joon-ho's 2003 film Memories of Murder, made while the Korean killer was still unknown, with David Fincher's 2007 Zodiac, built on Robert Graysmith's books, and argues that a competent investigation on either continent might have swapped the outcomes.Next, the episode turns to research suggesting that human consciousness may briefly outlast the body. Dr. Sam Parnia, director of critical care and resuscitation research at NYU Langone in New York City, describes cardiac-arrest patients who were revived and could recall specific conversations and the actions of the doctors and nurses working to save them, and his work points to conscious awareness continuing for as long as three minutes after the heart stops even though the brain's electrical activity typically flatlines within twenty to thirty seconds. The segment adds microbiologist Peter Noble of the University of Washington, whose studies on mice and zebrafish found certain genes increasing in activity in the hours after death, and it frames both findings as evidence that cells shut down gradually rather than switching instantly from living to dead.The episode closes with the death of Joseph McKinnon in Trenton, South Carolina, whom deputies first found lying unresponsive in his yard, dead of a heart attack he suffered while filling in a pit a neighbor believed was meant for a new water feature. When investigators could not locate McKinnon's girlfriend, 65-year-old Patricia Dent, and learned she had missed her shift at the Mount Vintage Golf Club, they dug into the pit and uncovered black garbage bags holding her bound, bruised, and strangled body. Edgefield County Sheriff Jody Rowland and Coroner David Burnett concluded that McKinnon had attacked and choked Dent inside their home, wrapped her, and collapsed from cardiac arrest as he covered her over, and her twin sister Pamela Briggs spoke of her grief while police noted the couple had no known history of domestic violence, meaning that had McKinnon lived, Dent might simply have vanished.

Please check out the full podcast review on our Patreon Page by subscribing over at - https://www.patreon.com/NextBestPicture Our 2008 retrospective is coming to an end this month, and our second-to-last podcast review is for David Fincher's epic romantic fantasy drama, "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button," starring Brad Pitt, Cate Blanchett, Taraji P. Henson, Julia Ormond, Jason Flemyng, Elias Koteas, Mahershala Ali, Jared Harris & Tilda Swinton. A more sentimental and whimsical film for Fincher than what we're usually used to seeing from him (mostly in part due to Eric Roth's adaptation of the 1922 short story by F. Scott Fitzgerald) it's another wonderful collaboration between Pitt and Fincher (Who we will see reunite later this year in the "Once Upon A Time In Hollywood" standalone sequel, "The Adventures of Cliff Booth") on love, destiny, death and finding an appreciation for life in the brief time we have here. Featuring state-of-the-art visual effects for its time and other dazzling technical elements, the film led the 81st Academy Awards with 13 nominations, winning three for its crafts. How do they hold up? What did we think of the story? Please tune in as Ema Sasic, Josh Parham, Lauren LaMagna, and I talk about the film's screenplay, the performances, the craftsmanship, its awards season run, and more in our SPOILER-FILLED review.

Zodiac is a 2007 film directed by David Fincher and starring Jake Gylenhaal, Robert Downey Jr., and Mark Ruffalo. It covers the infamous Zodiac killings in the late 60s and early 70s in the Bay Area, and how a cartoonist named Robert Graysmith became obsessed with the case, and eventually wrote a book about it. The A24 Rocks crew discusses the messages this film sent about media frenzies, conspiracy rabbit holes, and why the Zodiac killer was never caught.

Directed by David Fincher and starring Brad Pitt and Morgan Freeman, the film follows two detectives as they hunt a serial killer whose murders are inspired by the seven deadly sins.

What if America's most famous uncaught serial killer was never one man at all? Eddie McNamara — former NYPD officer, 9/11 first responder, and author of Zodiactually: The Real Story of a Fake Serial Killer — joins Mike to argue the Zodiac wasn't a criminal mastermind but a myth stitched together from unrelated crimes, media hunger, and one compromised homicide detective. Drawing on police files, FBI records, court transcripts, and years of cold-calling witnesses, McNamara explains why Vallejo's own investigators never believed the first two murders were Zodiac's, digs into Dave Toschi's documented history of planting fan letters about himself in San Francisco papers, and reassesses Arthur Leigh Allen, the case's most famous suspect. He and Mike also cover the gulf between David Fincher's film and the real record, the glut of self-published theories clogging the true-crime shelf, and what it's like realizing you've stumbled onto an actual overlooked killer while debunking a fake one.Find more at https://feralhouse.com/zodiactually/Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-projection-booth--5513239/support.Become a supporter of The Projection Booth at http://www.patreon.com/projectionbooth

This week, we are sharing an historic conversation among Ohio comic book royalty: Prolific, award-winning creators Brian Michael Bendis and Marc Andreyko. The conversation was moderated by Mike Sangiacomo, one of the Founders of the Siegel and Shuster Society. Recorded live on July 11, 2026, at the Cleveland Public Library as part of the weekend-long Icons Fest held in conjunction with the Icons in Ink: The Jewish Comics Experience exhibit at the Maltz Museum of Jewish Heritage (on display until August 23, 2026). Growing up together in Northeast Ohio, Bendis and Andreyko first teamed up as friends to create the true crime comic book series Torso, the story of the "Torso Murders" in Cleveland in the 1930s when Eliot Ness was the city's Safety Director. Their wide-ranging conversation included stories about their early collaboration and the on-going challenge of bringing Torso to the screen, their storied careers in the comic book and entertainment industries, and Cleveland Public Library's role in Bendis's decision to go to DC to write for Superman. Brian Michael Bendis was born in Cleveland, took classes at Cleveland Institute of Art, and did work for several Cleveland-area newspapers and magazines in his early career. He has co-created characters like Miles Morales, Jessica Jones, and dozens of others that populate the Marvel, DC and all-new original universes. He is a New York Times bestseller and has won numerous awards for his work, including multiple Eisner Awards and a Peabody for Jessica Jones. Bendis was Executive Producer of the Academy Award winning hit Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse. Bendis' fabled move to DC Entertainment after nearly two decades at Marvel made international headlines, making his DC debut in the landmark Action Comics 1000. Bendis continues to be a prolific creator, producer, Marc Andreyko grew up in Mentor, graduated from Mentor High School, and co-created the character Kate Spencer/Manhunter for DC and was the original writer on Wonder Woman '77. He has written comics for Dark Horse, DC, IDW, Image, and Marvel. Michael Sangiacomo is a long-time writer of articles on Superman and the comics industry for the Cleveland Plain Dealer. In 2006, he penned an article that urged Cleveland to embrace the creators of Superman, Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster, and this led to the creation of the Siegel and Shuster Society of which he was a founding board member. Sangiacomo has also taught comic book history at Case Western Reserve University and is a comics writer himself.

Now he runs a company called Run of Show Playbook, and this episode is a walk through the Hollywood-trained framework he applies to nonprofit galas.In this episode: why every gala needs a script before the venue, menu, or flowers get booked, why you should never say "thank you" at your event (and when to say it instead), the three types of donors in every room — habit, heart, and head — and how to write for all three, why the audience is the hero of the story and not the mission, how the best interruptions come from the water-cooler conversations your staff has that never make it into the messaging, and the difference between telling a story and building a messaging arc.Plus: what a 56-take Kevin Costner beer commercial can teach you about scripting your next paddle raise.Chapters:00:00 Intro01:01 Living the Dream in Mexico05:18 The Power of Listening06:51 From Hollywood to Fundraising11:09 The Importance of Messaging15:48 Interrupting the Loop in Fundraising21:05 The Importance of Audience Engagement22:44 Balancing Heroes: Audience vs Mission26:19 The Role of Impact in Fundraising28:27 Stories from Hollywood: Lessons Learned31:54 The Value of Honest Feedback and Audience Understanding

Box office smash horror films. Sarah Watt, Jeremy Downing and William Chen discuss Backrooms (2026) and Obsession (2026), but in two separate conversations. Jeremy and William discuss Backrooms, directed by Kane Parsons, and then Jeremy and Sarah discuss Obsession, directed by Curry Barker. The Backrooms conversation starts with the box office impact of the film and how it potentially is shifting the industry model for investing in films. We unpack the psychology of the horror in the film, especially when considering the realities of Gen Z and what horror looks like in a post-Millennial world. We talk about the brilliant performances from Chiwetel Ejiofor and Renate Reinsve, as are the physical sets in the film. We discuss the structure of the film and where the films works and where it is weak. We connect the film to the work of David Lynch, Alfred Hitchcock and Stanley Kubrick. Sarah swaps out with William, and chats with Jeremy about Obsession. Our conversation begins by praising the performance actor Inde Navarrette and later in the episode Michael Johnston. We talk about the strength of the narrative and how we can relate the situation amidst the horror. Our discussion focuses on the ending and the poetic justice, as well as the strength of the writing. We make connections to Weapons (2025), Romeo and Juliet (roughly 1597), Heated Rivalry (2025-), Fatal Attraction (1987), and the work of David Fincher and David Lynch (again). We finish the conversation by highlighting how much the film connected with our own lives.

Chris Paul and Burning Bright dive into David Fincher's 1997 mind bender, and it turns out one of them had somehow dodged this one entirely until now. They trace the eerie line from The Game to The Truman Show to The Matrix, unpacking why the late 90s were absolutely dripping with existential dread, and how a movie about total control over one man's reality hits very differently with "post info war eyes." Expect a wide ranging conversation about digital manipulation, manufactured trust, and the modern version of actors leading you exactly where they want you to go. There's also some real talk about elections, propaganda, and the difference between a principled argument and a convenient one. Stick around for the next pick, a 1992 crime classic that's somehow been sitting unwatched on one host's list for way too long.

The Odyssey Isn't About Monsters. It's About Trust.   Before Christopher Nolan brings The Odyssey to the big screen, Curtis Chang and Jessica Hooten Wilson revisit Homer's ancient epic to ask what the story is really about: monsters, homecoming, and the search for truth among intentional lies. They explore why reading The Odyssey still matters in the age of film and AI, how Odysseus forces us to ask who we can trust, and what Christians can learn from Greek myths and pagan gods about the one true God revealed in Scripture.   03:53 - Reading the Homer vs. Watching Matt Damon 05:38 - When to Read the Book First? 11:06 - How "The Odyssey" Changes with the Reader 13:32 - Did A Woman Really Write The Odyssey? 16:50 - What Is The Unreliable Narrator? 23:23 - The Psychological Impact of an Unreliable Narrator 31:27 - A Christian Approach to Greek Mythology 34:37 - Understanding The Greco-Roman Culture of Jesus 41:36 - The Irreplaceable Human Elements of Teaching Literature in the Age of AI   Sign up for The After Party Sign up for our newsletter and The Good List   Mentioned in This Episode: Homer's The Odyssey (Stanley Lombardo's translation) Homer's The Iliad Nadya Williams's Christians Reading the Classics Yann Martel's Son of Nobody Yann Martel's Life of Pi Edith Hamilton's Mythology: Timeless Tales of Gods and Heroes  Neil Gaiman's Norse Mythology Natalie Haynes's Pandora's Jar: Women in the Greek Myths  Christopher Nolan's Memento (trailer) David Fincher's Fight Club (trailer) An Introduction to 1 and 2 Samuel (The story of King David)   More From Jessica Hooten Wilson: Jessica Hooten Wilson's website Explore Jessica's books HERE Read articles and Essay by Jessica HERE Follow Us: Good Faith on Instagram Good Faith on X (formerly Twitter) Good Faith on Facebook   The Good Faith Podcast is a production of a 501(c)(3) nonpartisan organization that does not engage in any political campaign activity to support or oppose any candidate for public office.

Tom was born and raised in New Jersey. He grew up in the town of Howell, where he attended the Fine and Performing Arts Center at Howell High School. Upon graduation, he attended Mason Gross School of the Arts at Rutgers University (obtaining a BFA in acting), where he also had the opportunity to study Shakespeare at the Globe Theatre in London, England. Tom's first professional job was on the long-running CBS daytime show Guiding Light. During the two and a half years he was on the show, he was nominated for four consecutive Daytime Emmy Awards, winning twice (in 2006 and 2008). Having worked in theater, television, and independent film, he eventually became a series regular on the hit Cinemax show Banshee, playing former neo-Nazi Kurt Bunker. Tom is a founding member and the current Artistic Director of the Apothecary Theatre Company—a NYC-based non-profit that develops and produces world premieres of new plays by up-and-coming playwrights. He made his Broadway debut in 2012 as Judy Garland's last husband, Mickey Deans, in the critically acclaimed End of the Rainbow, directed by Tony Award Winner Terry Johnson. Since his breakout in Ozark and David Fincher's Mank, he has gone on to star in Outer Range, Love and Death, She Said, and HBO's Task. Considering that this interview was done via Zoom (a TOA first), as a means of moving forward in spite of the COVID-19 pandemic, it is befitting that this episode of That One Audition retells the stories of adaptation and triumph that landed Tom Pelphrey right here.

Is Fight Club by Chuck Palahniuk still relevant today? In this month's Bookmarked Book Club, Marisa Serafini and I dive into one of the most influential novels of the past 30 years and discuss why its themes of consumerism, toxic masculinity, loneliness, identity, violence, and anti-capitalism remain just as provocative today as they were in 1996.We compare the original novel with David Fincher's iconic film adaptation starring Edward Norton and Brad Pitt, explore the psychology behind Tyler Durden and the Narrator, unpack Project Mayhem, and discuss why Fight Club has become one of the most misunderstood stories in modern pop culture. We also examine what the book is actually saying—and what many audiences have mistakenly taken away from it.Book vs. Movie Comparison: https://lucyvhayauthor.com/book-versus-film-an-epic-study-of-fight-club/We also share what we've been reading outside of book club, including Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow, TJ Klune, Pride Month book discoveries, and our upcoming reading list.Upcoming Book Club Picks: La Belle Sauvage (Book 1 of The Book of Dust) — Philip Pullman (July 2026) Fairest — Meredith Talusan (August 2026) Nervous Conditions — Tsitsi Dangarembga (September 2026) TBD (October 2026) Maus: A Survivor's Tale — Art Spiegelman (November 2026)Topics Covered Why Fight Club still resonates nearly 30 years later The real meaning behind Tyler Durden Why the Narrator doesn't have a name Consumerism as the novel's central villain The psychology of repression and split identity What Project Mayhem actually represents The male loneliness epidemic and modern relevance Why audiences often misunderstand Fight Club Biggest differences between the book and movie The symbolism behind the soap Our favorite moments from the novel What we're reading next

Check out Cam's latest novel / audio drama here! David Fincher's Zodiac is a masterpiece, but it's not that simple. This is more than just a perfect true crime movie. It's also a horror movie that relentlessly denies the viewer any sense of closure or narrative satisfaction. As we argue in today's episode, Zodiac is a spiraling mystery in conversation with everything from slashers and possession movies to journalism stories and the complicated idea of "the great American novel". We also explore the film's unorthodox creature design (handwriting analysis!), its place within the larger David Fincher canon, and the question of whether or not the ending really is "ambiguous" at all.

E se o final mais perturbador dos anos 90 existir porque um produtor enviou o documento errado por engano? Pois é exatamente isso o que aconteceu com Seven, e David Fincher não deixou ninguém mudar nem uma vírgula. Brad Pitt e Morgan Freeman também bateram o pé. O estúdio tentou mandar a versão "comercial". Os três ignoraram. Trinta anos depois, é difícil imaginar que poderia ter sido de outro jeito.Mas o que torna Seven tão visceralmente insuportável de esquecer? A fotografia de Darius Khondji com retenção de prata que cria pretos tão densos que você quase sente o cheiro da cena? O design de som que não te deixa em paz nem um segundo? Ou John Doe, um assassino que não é niilista porque, para ele, tudo importa demais?Rafael Arinelli, Pedro Amaro e Bel Petit revisitam o thriller de Fincher com olhos de 2026, discutem a lesão real de Brad Pitt que entrou no roteiro, o Kevin Spacey escondido no meio do filme sem crédito, e a questão que divide o grupo até hoje: afinal, John Doe venceu ou perdeu?A caixa está esperando.

Gillian Flynn's novel Gone Girl defined a literary niche when it first came out in 2012, and it still defines it to this day. David Fincher's great 2014 adaptation—written in collaboration with Flynn—is one of the greatest and most fun movie thrillers of the 21st century. Now I want to present you with a terrifying scenario: What if this book had come out three years later, and instead of this glorious 2.5-hour film, we got a boring 12-hour streaming series? Come on, you can see it right now in your mind: Episode 3 is a flashback to Amy's life as a child, with none of the regular actors in it. Episode 9 is the Desi episode, and Amy finally arrives at his door right before the closing credits. No thank you. And so 1-Week Rental is here to take you through the history of that movie. How Gillian Flynn wrote her novel and then worked closely with Fincher on the production, how perfect the casting of both Ben Affleck and Rosamund Pike was, how Reese Witherspoon produced the movie with the intention of playing Amazing Amy herself only to be told by Fincher she was all wrong for the part, and how this movie is loosely based on the lives of Laci Roth and Matt Stokes. Did you know that? Watch the history segment in full on YouTube: https://youtu.be/i0WuyvYAyrg  We're off next week (June 5, 2026). The next episode will be out on Friday, June 12, 2026 when our summer miniseries begins.

In the 1980's and 1990's, David Fincher, Spike Jonze, Sofia Coppola, among many others honed their craft and proved their vision directing 3 minute music videos for MTV.  While the "music video" aesthetic was sometimes attacked as hurting cinema, in retrospect, the best directors of that generation brought a much needed innovation to movie language from which we can still take inspiration. Secret Movie Club founder.programmer Craig Hammill looks at this video work and notes how often the master moviemakers of a generation come out of a looked down upon medium.

They also discuss Netflix putting David Fincher's new movie, ‘The Adventures of Cliff Booth,' in theaters with an exclusive two-week run in IMAX and whether this is just another Netflix movie theater stunt or perhaps something more meaningful (00:00).

Drop Dead Fred has an 11% on Rotten Tomatoes. Critics absolutely hated it. But it's really good! Seriously. Let Matt and Laci tell you all about it... ...for the second time. That's right, it's time to return to a movie we've covered already. The first time was nearly a decade ago, on the tenth episode of this podcast. Back then, the show was called Load Bearing Beams and it came out every 73 days. We've gotten more consistent since then. Back then we were stunned at how sweet, funny, and insightful Drop Dead Fred is... and it still is! It's nice when that happens. Before diving into an in-depth discussion of the movie, we go through its production history, and then look at the careers of stars Rik Mayall and Phoebe Cates. The Rik Mayall portion shows us how badly we need a Britain Correspondent (email us!) to understand television over there. Then, while going through Phoebe Cates's career, we saw some, uh, interesting stuff that may have informed her performance as a woman who's spent her life being handed from controlling adult to controlling adult. Remember, this show contains irresponsible psychoanalysis for which we are wildly unqualified. Watch the history segment in full: https://youtu.be/V855FOu-u1A  Next week (May 29, 2026): In our last episode before we begin our summer miniseries, we're treating ourselves to David Fincher's Gone Girl (2014).   Time stamps: 00:06:35 — History segment: Critical reception of Drop Dead Fred; development of the movie; career overview of Rik Mayall; career overview of Phoebe Cates; legacy of Drop Dead Fred   00:39:10 — Movie discussion 01:54:25 — Final thoughts & star ratings   Drop Dead Fred (1991) was directed by Ate de Jong.

This week on Radio Labyrinth, we're talking about all the new things worth listening to — and a few things Spotify probably should've kept to itself.Spotify is celebrating 20 years with a new feature that digs through your entire listening history, revealing your first streamed song, your all-time stats, and the artists you may or may not want to admit you played the most. Tim's Spotify history is officially on trial, and yes, Tom Segura somehow entered the chat.We're also diving into Dungeon Crawler Carl Book 8: A Parade of Horribles, the latest entry in Matt Dinniman's wildly popular LitRPG series. Carl and Princess Donut are back, the dungeon is still insane, and the fandom is once again preparing to lose its collective mind.Plus, we get into Fallon and Kimmel stepping aside during Stephen Colbert's final Late Show, Weird Al heading toward Broadway with Dare to Be Stupid: The Weird Al Musical, new allegations surrounding Michael Jackson, Sydney Sweeney and Euphoria controversy, Jury Duty getting renewed for Season 3, and Christopher Nolan's new Odyssey trailer.Then it's time for Trailer Trash, Views or Snooze, and our weekly Staff Picks, including The Novelizers Podcast, David Fincher's updated Fight Club 4K release, and Marty: Life Is Short on Netflix.Subscribe, like, comment, and step into the Labyrinth.

What are the best movies from six of the greatest directors ever? Lance Taylor and Tyler Johns go filmmaker by filmmaker through the careers of Quentin Tarantino, Martin Scorsese, David Fincher, Paul Thomas Anderson, Stanley Kubrick, and Christopher Nolan to choose the films that best define each director. From Tarantino's pop-culture-changing Pulp Fiction to Scorsese's gangster classic Goodfellas, Fincher's dark thriller Seven, PTA's powerhouse drama There Will Be Blood, Kubrick's horror landmark The Shining, and Nolan's massive historical epic Oppenheimer, this episode is a full movie-lover deep dive. The guys also discuss the difference between a director's “best” movie and their personal favorite, why some films age better than others, and how certain movies reshape an entire genre. Before the main topic, Lance and Tyler review recent viewings including Who Will Stop the Rain?, Marathon Man, Billy Idol Should Be Dead, Hooper, Widow's Bay, Mortal Kombat 2, and Batman Beyond. #BestFilms #BestMovies #LegendaryDirectors #QuentinTarantino #MartinScorsese #ChristopherNolan #StanleyKubrick #DavidFincher #PaulThomasAnderson #PulpFiction #Goodfellas #Oppenheimer #TheShining #TheNextReel #moviereview SUBSCRIBE: @NextRoundLive - / @nextroundlive FOLLOW TNR ON SPOTIFY: https://open.spotify.com/show/7zlofzLZht7dYxjNcBNpWN FOLLOW TNR ON APPLE PODCASTS: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-next-round/id1797862560 WEBSITE: https://nextroundlive.com/ MOBILE APP: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/the-next-round/id1580807480 SHOP THE NEXT ROUND STORE: https://nextround.store/ Like TNR on Facebook: / nextroundlive Follow TNR on Twitter: / nextroundlive Follow TNR on Instagram: / nextroundlive Follow everyone from the show on Twitter: Jim Dunaway: / jimdunaway Ryan Brown: / ryanbrownlive Lance Taylor: / thelancetaylor Scott Forester: / scottforestertv Tyler Johns: /TylerJohnsTNR Sponsor the show: sales@nextroundlive.com Learn more about your ad choices.
