Four years after the magical success of Jurassic Park, Steven Spielberg, David Koepp, and Jeff Goldblum return to make a sequel (on a different island for some reason)! Does this oft-overlooked sequel deserve more flowers? Come back next week when we'll discuss the 90-minute Jurassic Park III that brings Sam Neill to the series.

This spy thriller was directed by Steven Soderbergh, written and produced by David Koepp and stars Cate Blanchett, Michael Fassbender, Naomi Harris, Tom Burke, Rege - Jean Page, Marisa Abela & Pierce Brosnan. In this film, a British intelligence agent must locate a mole from within his own organization and narrows it down to 5 of his closest colleagues, including his own wife. This film hit theaters on March 14th, 2025 before landing on Peacock in May of 2025.

In Episode 242 of Reel Therapy, Daniel and Donavon are joined by UCA Professor of Film, Dr. Bruce Hutchinson, to break down Brian De Palma's 1996 classic “Mission: Impossible”. From script structure to storytelling choices, we dive into the film's unique six-sequence, three-act structure, its approach to delivering information to the audience, and that messy love triangle subplot. It's a deep, nerdy, and fun look at one of the most iconic spy films of the ‘90s.TABLE OF CONTENTS --00:00:00 - About the Episode00:00:47 - Greetings from Dr. Bruce Hutchinson00:02:30 - Mission Impossible01:48:37 - Final Thoughts01:57:12 - Before We GoABOUT THE MOVIE --When a covert mission goes sideways, IMF agent Ethan Hunt—played by Tom Cruise in the role that launched his action-star legacy—is framed for the deaths of his team. Hunted by his own agency, he must uncover the real mole, recover a stolen list of undercover agents, and pull off a high-stakes heist to clear his name.Directed by Brian De Palma and based on the 1960s TV series, Mission: Impossible features a screenplay by David Koepp and Robert Towne. With De Palma's signature visual style and Cruise's intense, physical performance (including that iconic vault scene), the film redefined the spy genre and kicked off a billion-dollar franchise.ADDITIONAL READING --Want to dive deeper into how Mission: Impossible delivers exposition and handles story structure?

In this episode we dive deep into Steven Soderbergh's latest project 'Black Bag.' The conversation extends to the storytelling prowess of screenwriter David Koepp, the complexities of character development, and the nuances of the film's cinematography and editing. We also touch on other upcoming movies from directors like Paul Thomas Anderson and Spike Lee, and examine performances by Michael Fassbender and Cate Blanchett.   00:00 Introduction and Excitement for Upcoming Movies 03:50 Character Analysis and Performances 05:38 Cinematic Techniques and Directorial Style 11:09 Spoilers 32:50 Cate Blanchett's Character Study 37:27 Screenplay Precision 39:40 Directorial Styles and Constraints 43:27 Stephen Soderbergh's Approach 49:02 Modern Masterpieces and Recency Bias 52:35 Final Thoughts

BLACK BAG, Steven Soderbergh's latest 90-minute collaboration with writer David Koepp, is in theory a sprawling international spy thriller, but in practice it's a more intimate study of how a marriage can thrive in an environment where trusting your spouse is considered a weakness. This week we talk about how that genre disconnect works for and against BLACK BAG, before bringing in this pairing's companion film, 1934's THE THIN MAN, to compare how Nick and Nora Charles's bantering, crime-solving partnership compares to the cooler, less boozy charms of Cate Blanchett and Michael Fassbender's married spies. Then for Your Next Picture Show, we reach back to one of this podcast's very first episodes to cannibalize a recommendation for a film that we've already covered on the show, but was too clear an inspiration on BLACK BAG to ignore. (And really, is there ever a bad time to recommend WHO'S AFRAID OF VIRGINIA WOOLF?)  Please share your thoughts about THE THIN MAN, BLACK BAG, or anything else in the world of film, by sending an email or voice memo to comments@nextpictureshow.net, or leaving a short voicemail at (773) 234-9730.

Operating in direct opposition to the never ending barrage of anonymous content being foisted on us by algorithmic goose-steppers — the film programmers of today are cultural rebels and excavationists entrusted with the sacred duty of helping you find your new favorite movie.

This Friday is so jam-packed with new movies that we wanted to review a couple of them early for you here at Breakfast All Day. We begin with the action comedy "Novocaine," starring Jack Quaid as a mild-mannered bank manager who feels no pain. When robbers kidnap the woman he adores (Amber Midthunder), he finds his affliction is actually an asset. One of us liked this movie better than the other. But we both loved "Black Bag," starring Michael Fassbender and Cate Blanchett as British spies who love each other but don't totally trust each other. This is the second film this year from director Steven Soderbergh and writer David Koepp, following "Presence" in January. It's sleek, sexy and stylish. This is a spoiler-free review. Join us Friday for reviews of "The Electric State" on Netflix and the indie drama "Opus." We look forward to seeing you then.

In this spoiler-free instant take, Will Ashton jumps on the mic solo to give you his first impressions of Black Bag, the sleek and sizzling new spy thriller from director Steven Soderbergh. With a star-studded cast led by Cate Blanchett and Michael Fassbender, Black Bag is a taut, high-style espionage caper that calls back to the classy, grown-up thrillers of yesteryear. Will dives into what makes this film click.Iits sophisticated style, whip-smart screenplay (co-written by Soderbergh collaborator David Koepp), and a third act that actually sticks the landing. He compares it to classics like Mr. & Mrs. Smith and Out of Sight, highlighting how Soderbergh leans into his signature charm, sexiness, and cinematic craftsmanship. Other stars include Naomi Harris, Pierce Brosnan, Tom Burke, Regé-Jean Page, and Marisa Abela. All of whom get their moment to shine. Will also touches on Fassbender’s continued hot streak post-The Killer. Plus, why Blanchett is perfectly matched for this kind of layered, stylish fare. Clocking in at a brisk 95 minutes, Black Bag is a sharp and satisfying return to form. It's equally suited for a theater outing or a high-quality night in. Listen in for Will’s take on where Black Bag ranks among Soderbergh’s post-retirement filmography. And why this might be one of his most entertaining efforts in years.

Send us a textDEATH BECOMES HER (1992)For the second episode in TGTPTU's Season 14 redux series, the film choice was Thomas's. As he explains at the top of the ep, he wanted to do a Streep rewatch with recent co-host Ryan, specifically and especially a comedy. His first choice of Adaptation got nixed as it had previously been covered twice, first during the Cage and then again in the Streep season. So paired with the previous episode's High Plains Driver, this week TGTPTU (re)presents SHE-DEVIL (1986), the laugh-out-loud revenge story featuring Roseanne Barr as— Oh, apologies. We just lost half of our hosts and all of our listeners. Okay, let's try again.  For the second in our Season 14 redux series, the choice is Thomas's and I guess we'll go with DEATH BECOMES HER (1992), originally recorded in 2023 as Season 8, Episode 12. And although during that Streeps of Fire season surprise special guests and Jack recorded an excellent episode in all but audio quality, none of the three current hosts (Ken, Thomas, or Ryan) were on to talk Robert Zemeckis's special effects comedy starring the co-billed Streep, Hawn, and Willis.  So grabs some fresh takes on the film (e.g., Death Becomes Her structured a TV dinner) as Ken beefs with writer David Koepp; Ryan with Zemeckis; Thomas with olds telling youngs how to spend money on food; and Jack with the ghost of Maggie Thatcher. Thomas also puts Jack on blast for not watching films he mentioned going to watch during the original episode's recording while, don't worry, She-Devil receives plenty of mentions throughout. And if that's not enough ep for you ingrates, cohost throughout Season 8 and the voice singing the first three seasons' intro songs, the illustrious and always opinionated Andi drops in briefly to say some unkind words of demotivation to the boys.

For context, the time gap between Fallen Kingdom and Dominion was FOUR years. The first Jurassic Park is a top 15 movie of all-time for me... but this franchise has basically now disappointed me five straight times. I don't think Lost World is horrible and I have some fun with the first Jurassic World but the pairing of David Koepp and Gareth Edwards has always given me some hope for this entry. I've liked all of Edwards' movies but haven't quite loved ay of them, but he's certainly the kind of director who can inject some worthy visuals back into this franchise and bring the thrills. The question has been: are the characters and story going to live up to the visuals though? Those areas have been my issue with all of his films so far, but with Koepp on board, I've had some hope. Also, because this movie shot large chunks in Thailand, I'm immediately going to be pumped to see it. Does the trailer give the impression that this is going to be the best movie in the franchise since the original? Find out in this initial reaction!

Presence is a 2024 American supernatural thriller drama film directed by Steven Soderbergh and written by David Koepp. It stars Lucy Liu, Chris Sullivan, and Callina Liang.

Ep. 290: Steven Soderbergh on Presence, shooting in the first-person, and recent viewing Welcome to The Last Thing I Saw, with your host, Nicolas Rapold. Steven Soderbergh's first-person ghost thriller Presence opens today in theaters—almost exactly one year after its premiere screening at Sundance, where I first saw it. I sat down with Soderbergh and asked him about directing and shooting the film, which entailed essentially embodying the character of the haunting presence as we move through a house of family and view their goings-on from a supernatural POV. He also shared his mother's crucial influence on the film; how he built up both suspense and a grounded family drama; and an early change during filming that affected how he would film the presence. Lucy Liu, Chris Sullivan, and Callina Liang co-star; Soderbergh re-teams with screenwriter David Koepp. Finally, we talk about some of his recent viewing—which the director famously chronicles on his website. Here he explains, among other things, why he's watching so much Star Wars, and also pays tribute to the dearly departed David Lynch.

In this week's episode of The Discourse, host Mike DeAngelo returns to the past to investigate supernatural thrills while chatting with David Koepp about the 25th Anniversary 4K release of his cult-favorite film, “Stir of Echoes.” The 1999 psychological horror film stars Kevin Bacon as a man who, after being hypnotized at a party, begins experiencing disturbing visions that lead him to uncover the mystery of a missing neighborhood girl. Directed and written by David Koepp ("Jurassic Park," "Spider-Man," "Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny"), the film also features Kathryn Erbe, Kevin Dunn, Illeana Douglas, and Zachary David Cope. During the chat, Koepp reflected on the enduring appeal of “Stir of Echoes” and revisited it decades later for the special edition release. He credited the film's success to a rare synergy of creative talent. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/theplaylist/support
