This is the end!  (Don't worry, I didn't play The Doors in this episode). Well, no of course it isn't actually the end.  But this is the last episode where I officially host.  Fear not, there will be bonus episodes and I’ll be guesting from time to time throughout the year.  Give all your support to Al & Brad when they begin in three weeks on the Danny Boyle episode.  Of course, this is the year-end spectacular for 2016 and it should come as no surprise that it’s 4 hours long.  I enlisted the help of two great friends of mine to contribute their thoughts on the year that was, as well as sharing their favorite films of 2016.  Supporting Characters’ very own Bill Ackerman as well as Film Jive co-host Zach Betonte expand with me in great detail about memorable moments in film from the year that was!  We also continue the tradition of sub-categories, listener & past guest contributions, 2016 favorites from the fans, and so much more!  Obviously, it wouldn’t be me if I didn’t begin with an introduction and a farewell.  I’ll miss hosting, but I will continue to be behind-the-scenes every step of the way.  It’s been an absolute pleasure and a privilege hosting this show, and you can always find me on either the Now Playing Network or at Voices & Visions - Jim 00:00 - 09:18 - Introduction / Farewell 09:19 - 36:42 -  Overall Thoughts On 2016 36:43 - 01:45:50 - Sub-Categories (Best Actress, etc.) 01:45:51 - 01:52:10 - Regina & Andrew’s Lists! 01:52:11 - 02:26:16 - Numbers #25 - #11 02:26:17 - 02:29:14 - More Listener Lists! 02:29:15 - 03:57:37 - Our Top Ten Favorite Films Of 2016 03:57:38 - 04:03:45 - Final Round Of Listener Lists 04:03:46 - 04:09:30 - Outro / Final Parody Song For our complete lists, photos and show notes go to: http://www.directorsclubpodcast.com/blog/favorites2016

Jay Cheel of Film Junk, Kurt Halfyard of Row Three's Cinecast, and Zach Betonte of Film Jive join me in a quick 90-minute conversation about the two recently released films COMPLIANCE and THE IMPOSTER, both of which I think are two of the year's best.  I have a couple of reservations about the latter which are brought up, but most of the debates surround the former.  Overall you can expect a roundtable-style discussion as we examine two very interesting films that tackle true life stories about liars and manipulation.  COMPLIANCE fictionalizes a real-life event that is shocking and stranger than fiction, and for some, this fictionalized approach doesn’t entirely work.  THE IMPOSTER has been highly praised for its style and taut thriller-like execution (and rightfully so), and I mention a couple of things that lead to some questions surrounding documentary ethics and the way we perceive the events overall. For the most part, the conversation surrounds the idea of director intention and the way both stories are presented in distinctively challenging ways that spark some thought-provoking ideas about the way we watch movies based on true events.  Since I realize both of these films are in limited release at the moment, I will promote this episode again once these two titles are out on DVD & Blu-Ray so you can listen to the discussion and maybe send us your thoughts/comments once you've had a chance to catch up with these movies, and I really hope that you do .  Both of these movies are conversation-stimulators in the best way, and I couldn't have been happier that these three guests complied and came on the show for a lively bit of rambling.  We will return to the regular format next week with Patrick as well, when guest Damon Houx joins us to talk about the great Wong Kar-Wai.  - JimEmail us:  directorsclubpodcast@gmail.comWebsite:  http://directorsclubpodcast.com
