Alex Segura returns to the Cryptid Creator Corner and there's so much to discuss. After finishing up writing duties on Star Wars: Battle of Jakku, Alex has taken over writing the main Star Wars title along with artist Phil Noto. Alex and Jimmy discuss Battle of Jakku and the challenge of weaving that in with the Aftermath trilogy, while also wanting to tell a compelling story and not just give fans filler. Spoiler alert: I think they nailed it. Now, with the main Star Wars title, Alex and Phil are getting to mix high adventure with the political intrigue of forming a New Republic. Alex also talks about The Question: All Along the Watchtower and Dick Tracy. This is a fantastic conversation that Star Wars fans, in particular, are not going to want to miss.  Alex's website Alex's newsletter Follow Alex on Bluesky Star Wars #1 From the publisher AN EPIC NEW ADVENTURE BEGINS FOR LUKE, LEIA AND HAN IN THE WAKE OF RETURN OF THE JEDI! New York Times best-selling author ALEX SEGURA launches the bold next era of STAR WARS. LUKE SKYWALKER must defend the NEW REPUBLIC from a bloodthirsty gang of mercenaries! HAN SOLO investigates a deadly underworld mystery - and saves a surprising ally! LEIA ORGANA must grapple with a new alliance opposed to the goals of the New Republic! Dick Tracy From the publisher A new era for the iconic detective starts here, from bestselling and acclaimed authors Alex Segura and Michael Moreci, as an all-new, noir-infused chapter in the Dick Tracy legacy kicks off with superstar artist Geraldo Borges. In the aftermath of World War II, the country stands frozen–waiting for the next shoe to drop. In The City, a brutal murder draws the attention of rising star detective Dick Tracy, who soon discovers the bloodshed is just the beginning of a complicated web that threatens to ensnare everything he cares about. Blending the classic elements of the Dick Tracy world (including his iconic villains, supporting cast, and unforgettable watch radio) with a hardboiled and realistic take, DICK TRACY #1 kicks off a fresh and modern take on the iconic detective that remains true to his rich history. The Question: All Along The Watchtower From the publisher Who watches the Watchtower? In the wake of Absolute Power, the Justice League Unlimited has created a haven for all heroes—but can they keep it secure? Enter Renee Montoya, reeling from an abrupt end to her time in Go-tham and looking for a place to hang her hat. But the Trinity didn't bring her up to the Watchtower to relax—there's a dark threat bubbling underneath the surface, and only the Question and her ad hoc support team stand a chance of figuring out who the problem is before it's too late.

Based on a short film made nearly two decades ago, The Ballad of Wallis Island is, in many ways, a throwback to the type of movie still being made at that time: intimate, quirky, and big on character.

Steven Soderbergh's “Kimi” (2022) is a timely movie about invasive technology and Covid-19—and a Hitchcockian throwback to the era of paranoid thrillers.

Over his first three movies, director Robert Eggers has proven to be one of the most distinct, unique voices in modern cinema. Now, with "Nosferatu," he's tackling his most ambitious project yet--a remake of a beloved 1922 silent film classic, a movie that some argue created the template for all of horror cinema.  Keir and Michael sank their teeth into the latest version of this vampire tale--but did they fall under Count Orlock's spell?

Winter is coming, and there's an exciting slate of movies coming our way. From big budget spectacles to Oscar bait dramas to fun family flicks, winter has it all, and we're giving our rundown--cage match style--of them all. Not only that, but--Steven Soderbergh has been talking about retirement for YEARS. And now, in 2013, the time has come. Is the film he goes out on his “Citizen Kane,” his “Heaven's Gate,” his “Megalopolis”? It's a movie about Liberace and his lover, Scott Thorson—you be the judge!

Steven Soderbergh has made it a point to assimilate the work of other directors and make it his own. He's borrowed from Jean-Luc Godard, Orson Welles, Michael Curtiz, and even Richard Lester.

This time, he's trying his hand at the action/spy genre and enlisting MMA superstar Gina Carano. Does the pairing bear fruit, or does the Soderbergh/Carano team-up go...haywire?

We're halfway through Steven Soderbergh's filmography, and it's time to rank what we've seen so far! What'll make the cut? OUT OF SIGHT? OCEAN'S 11? KAFKA?? Michael and Keir also forge ahead, discussing Soderbergh's second Spalding Gray documentary, AND EVERYTHING IS GOING FINE.

Whether you were fighting over toilet paper, packing up to stay with family, or you simply glued to the news, watching it all unfold, you remember what you were doing when Covid-19 shut down normal life. And wherever Steven Soderbergh was, he had to be thinking, “I told you so.” Social media Instagram @thefilmographers Twitter/X @filmographerpod Letterboxd @filmographers YouTube @TheFilmographersPodcast Website: https://filmographerspodcast.com/ Credits Keir Graff & Michael Moreci, hosts Kevin Lau, producer Gompson, theme music Cosmo Graff, graphic design

Francis Ford Coppola spent $90 million of his own money to finally make the film he's been talking about for over four decades. It's the cinephile event of the season, it's a spectacle, it's Coppola's humanist manifesto on art and politics, and it's...well...you'll just have to tune in to find out what we made of it.

Based on a true story about a whistleblower whose relationship with the truth is, let's say, complicated, Soderbergh's “The Informant!” (2009) is both one of Matt Damon's greatest performances AND manages to find the humor in lysine price-fixing.

Soderbergh's second low-budget, shot-on-video movie for Mark Cuban's Magnolia Pictures (following 2005's Bubble) is about a high-priced escort and stars 21-year-old adult film star Sasha Grey. It may seem like Soderbergh's having a mid-life crisis but, really, he's just finding ways to take new creative swings. The question is: Does this swing connect?   Social media Instagram @thefilmographers Twitter/X @filmographerpod Letterboxd @filmographers YouTube @TheFilmographersPodcast Website: https://filmographerspodcast.com/ Patreon: Patreon.com/TheFilmographersPodcast Credits Keir Graff & Michael Moreci, hosts Kevin Lau, producer Gompson, theme music Cosmo Graff, graphic design

In the interest of connecting with even more Soderbergh fans, we reached out to some of our friends in the arts and asked them to share their enthusiasm for THEIR favorite Soderbergh films. The response blew us away. We've got John Green and Gillian Flynn in this episode, people!   Social media Instagram @thefilmographers Twitter/X @filmographerpod Letterboxd @filmographers YouTube @TheFilmographersPodcast Website: https://filmographerspodcast.com/ Patreon: Patreon.com/TheFilmographersPodcast Credits Keir Graff & Michael Moreci, hosts Kevin Lau, producer Gompson, theme music Cosmo Graff, graphic design

A presentation of The PAPER STREET Podcast, 'LATE TO THE PARTY' is a new recurring program that brings filmmakers, friends, and entertainment industry pros on to discuss one of their major movie blind spots.  The guest chats with hosts Shawn Talley and Cameron Burns before watching the film, then reconvenes with them after having seen it to all share their thoughts on the movie and much more!​ This go-round, the talented multi-hyphenate (author, comics writer, screenwriter, director, and more!) Michael Moreci was late to the party on HOOSIERS, but we're glad he made it!  The hosts and Michael discuss the film's effectiveness in its simplicity; the fine performances by Hackman, Hershey, and Hopper; the lack of actual weather seasons in modern movies; and lots more!  If you've seen the 1986 film HOOSIERS, check out this sporty conversation.  And if you haven't, you're late to the party, but that's okay; we'll still be here when you get to it! For show notes and additional links to our guest, please visit paperstreetpodcast.com.

When we started this podcast, it never even occurred to us that it might be hard to track down some of Steven Soderbergh's earlier (and even recent) efforts. Here's a primer on where and how to find them. Also, please note: There is a video component to this episode, which can be viewed exclusively on our YouTube page (linked below)!
