It's safe to say Mike and Keir have become obsessed with The Good German. Yes, it flopped. Yes, Soderbergh says it's his most reviled film.

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. But did this movie about a folk singer needing to connect with an audience of one pull on our heartstrings in the right ways? Listen to find out! Join our Pateron!

Combine the king of horror fiction (Stephen King), a master of horror movies (James Wan), and a red-hot horror director coming off one of 2024's biggest hits (LONGLEGS, Osgood Perkins), and you get THE MONKEY, a movie about an evil monkey that loves to kill.

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. Speaking of Hitch, his work inspired *many* movies. So many there's a name for it.

After covering Steven Soderbergh, film by film, for nearly a year, Mike and Keir finally get to see a new release on the big screen!

In a Filmographers First, we interview Chris Sullivan, who was unforgettable as Tom Cleary in Steven Soderbergh's “The Knick” and stars as Chris Payne in Soderbergh's forthcoming movie “Presence.” (You may also know him as Toby Damon on “This Is Us” and . . .

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?

In Episode 672, it's the return of Michael Moreci from The Awakened graphic novel from Zoop.gg along with a holiday tradition! Michael and I talk about this timely original graphic novel from him, Alex Segura, and Dean Kotz. The series is described this way: “The Awakened is a character-driven superhero epic in the vein of The Golden Age, Supreme Power, Black Hammer, and Astro City! It is collected here in trade paperback format for the first time!” We discuss how this book came to be, what else Michael is working on, and the importance of this story for today's world. The Zoop.gg crowdfunding project for this book will be concluding in early January of 2025. Don't wait--be sure to back this excellent project as soon as you finish listening to this great interview! Then everything wraps up with my annual holiday tradition, playing the audio from ‘Twas the Dark Knight Before Christmas! You can see the video at this link!

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.

Very bad.  After the first Smile became one of the earliest post-Covid box office hits, Finn is back with a highly anticipated sequel, and just in time for the Halloween season.

Steven Soderbergh is at it again--again pushing his creative boundaries, again collaborating with exciting, non-professional actors. 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)!

We usually think of Steven Soderbergh as a prolific and tireless craftsman, but in his 2008 films “The Argentine” and “The Guerilla,” originally released as “Che,” the director let his artistic self take the wheel—with glorious results.

Steven Soderbergh's last outing was a black-and-white drama about Nazi war crimes that left audiences depressed. In 2007, it's time to repay Warner Bros' faith—and dollars—with his second-ever sequel: “Ocean's Thirteen.” 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
