Podcast appearances and mentions of Steven Soderbergh

This week, we're reviewing Ocean's Eleven. No, it's not the classic heist movie by Steven Soderbergh that spawned the franchise we've probably all heard of today. We're instead talking about the 1960 film by Frank Sinatra's Rat Pack. We slogged our way through this egotistical mess to see if it deserves to be as poorly remembered as it is.Join our Patreon for our bonus episodes! https://www.patreon.com/oldiebutagoodiepodFollow the show!Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/oldiebutagoodiepod/Facebook: https://fb.me/oldiebutagoodiepodPodcast Platforms: https://linktr.ee/oldiebutagoodiepodGot feedback?

Steven Soderbergh's second release of 2002, after FULL FRONTAL, was another very odd move: a remake of Andrei Tarkovsky's SOLARIS (well, more of a new adaptation of the Stanislaw Lem novel). Underappreciated at the time, Soderbergh's SOLARIS has grown in reputation as one of the great science fiction films of the 2000s - so we brought on a bonafide science fiction expert, Aaron Thorpe, to talk about it! Join us for a thoughtful and wide-ranging conversation about the purpose of science fiction, comprehending the vastness of space, grief, blackness in sci-fi, and OSMOSIS JONES. Don't worry, it's plenty stupid, too.

La vita di una famiglia, appena entrata in una grande casa dall'aspetto misterioso, viene spiata costantemente da una presenza impalpabile e muta, della quale non si conosce l'identità nè lo scopo per cui si aggira ancora fra quelle mura.Soderbergh spiazza e affascina con un thriller soprannaturale, dai grandi risvolti emotivi ed un finale potentissimo.Una pellicola splendidamente girata da un maestro che non disdegna mai il cinema indipendente e ricco di idee e ben interpretata da un cast azzeccato.Da vedere e rivedere, per rimanerne estasiati.

On Toolkit we want to explore the challenges facing filmmakers today, and a growing concern is A.I. But we find for all the promises and fears of what A.I.will do, there are few conversations about what A.I. is actually able to do right now. Writer and director Scott Z. Burns has the perfect case study for us: trying to write a sequel to his and Steven Soderbergh's 'Contagion' using A.I. screenwriters and film critics. Learn more about your ad choices.

Soderbergh firma l'ennesimo saggio sul cinema con una storia di fantasmi girata interamente in soggettiva che ha saputo regalarci ancora una volta una profonda riflessione su cosa sia oggi lo sguardo.

Hello and welcome the 148th episode of Film Freakz, our podcast about movies! In this episode we talk about the movie Ocean's Eleven from 2001. This podcast features YemmytheFerret (Yemmy), RaeofPositivity (Rae), Taymation Studios (Tay), and JustKalas (Kalas). This movie was recommended by Tay who is the unknown twelfth member of the team. Dapper Danny Ocean is a man of action. Less than 24 hours into his parole from a New Jersey penitentiary, the wry, charismatic thief is already rolling out his next plan. He follows three rules: do not hurt anybody, do not steal from anyone who does not deserve it, and play the game like you have got nothing to lose. With those in mind, Danny works to orchestrate the most sophisticated, elaborate casino heist in history, targeting three establishments owned by the man who is dating his ex-wife. Directed by Steven Soderbergh. Thanks for listening on all platforms! We want YOUR recommendations for the FAN VOTE!

Guest Ethan Thompson returns for a pandemic-themed double feature pairing cinematic outbreaks with legendary brews. The films are Eddington, the newest from Ari Aster, and Steven Soderbergh's eerily prescient Contagion from 2011, a film that's only grown more chilling since the world lived through its own global pandemic. To match the apocalyptic mood, the beers are just as special. First up is Pliny the Elder from Russian River Brewing—a white whale for many beer lovers, this West Coast double IPA is as mythic as it is delicious, and the crew dives into why it still holds such a revered place in craft beer circles. Then there's Jakobus, a crisp and complex pilsner from Schilling Beer Co., offering a grounding contrast to the hop-heavy intensity of Pliny. Together, the films and the beers spark a conversation about fear, misinformation, leadership, and what it takes to hold a community together when the world starts to fall apart. It's an episode full of sharp insights, great storytelling, and rare brews—don't miss it.

We welcome the esteemed critic, journalist, and podcaster Jourdain Searles to the show to discuss Quentin Tarantino's seminal third feature Jackie Brown, an adaptation of the Elmore Leonard novel Rum Punch that also serves as Tarantino's love letter to Blaxploitation cinema and one of its defining stars, Pam Grier. We begin with a discussion of Blaxploitation cinema, Pam Grier's status within the genre, and how Tarantino navigates the fine line between homage and aesthetic fetishism. Then, we unpack the film's taught, thoughtfully structured script that manages to pack the customary twists and reversals of a Leonard adaptation without skimping on the romance and hangout vibes that underly Tarantino's most accomplished work. Finally, we pull back to discuss Tarantino today and whether we can successfully decouple the director's artistry from his support for Israel. Follow Jourdain Searles on Twitter.

Es war einmal … So beginnen Märchen. Manchmal auch Schauermärchen. Danach seufzen wir erleichtert auf. Wie nach einem Albtraum, aus dem wir eben erwacht sind. Puh, nur ein Traum. Oder? War da nicht mal was? Eine staatlich und medial geschürte Massenhysterie, die uns als Pandemie verkauft wurde? Wie lange ist das jetzt her? Und war das wirklich? Oder stammen die Bilder in unserem Kopf aus Youtube-Clips? Aus Angstträumen? Gab es tatsächlich eine Zeit, in der Menschen mit Masken durch die Stadt liefen wie in einem Endzeitthriller von Steven Soderbergh, Klopapier horteten und Menschen beschimpften, wenn sie in einem geringeren Abstand als den vorgeschriebenen 1,50 Metern an ihnen vorbeigingen? Was haben wir damals eigentlich gemacht? Wie haben wir uns gefühlt? Wie sind wir mit anderen umgegangen? Haben wir Freunde verloren, weil sie uns oder wir sie für Feinde hielten? Und wie war das in der Zeit davor? War sie tatsächlich besser? Oder nur anders? Was hat uns früher Angst gemacht? Oder waren wir angstfrei? Und: Ginge das heute noch? Ohne Angst leben? Ist es nicht so, dass wir die Angst brauchen, um uns an Regeln zu halten, egal wie absurd sie sind? Und wäre es nicht am besten, wenn wir nie wieder ohne Angst leben würden, weil wir Bürger dann funktionieren, so reibungslos wie die Regierungen uns gerne haben wollen. Wie war es also damals und früher? Und was ist heute anders? Hören Sie dazu das kleine Hörspiel „Damals und Früher“ von unserer Autorin Mónica Simon mit Martin Muliar und Ulrich Allroggen.

Yeah, like we weren't going to go over two and a half hours on FULL FRONTAL. Following the generational run of OUT OF SIGHT, THE LIMEY, ERIN BROCKOVICH, TRAFFIC, and OCEAN'S ELEVEN, Steven Soderbergh did what anyone would do: he shot a semi-improvised ensemble Hollywood satire on a consumer grade digital camera. The result, FULL FRONTAL, is a fascinating film about connection, mediation, performance, and the film industry, so who better to talk about it with than our Hollywood bigwig buddy, filmmaker and producer Chadd Harbold? This is a really good one, folks - don't sleep on it!

Editor - Stephen Mirrione, ACE F1 editor Stephen Mirrione ACE, known for his exceptional work in films like Traffic and The Revenant, took on a whole new challenge with F1, an adrenaline-fueled project that demanded innovation and intricacy at every turn.  One of the many tasks for Mirrione was ensuring the emotional weight and authenticity within F1's racing scenes. Every cut, every transition was made with the intention of drawing the audience deeper into the world of racing. The commitment to authenticity was evident in using Formula One track cameras and high-speed car mounts, which provided unparalleled realism. F1 stars Brad Pitt as race car driver, Sonny Hayes. In the 1990s, Hayes was Formula 1's most promising driver until an accident on the track nearly ended his career. Thirty years later, the owner of a struggling Formula 1 team convinces Sonny to return to racing and become the best in the world. Driving alongside the team's hotshot rookie, Sonny soon learns that the road to redemption is not something you can travel alone. Stephen Mirrione, ACE Stephen has spent the past thirty years building an impressive body of work.  Unlike many editors who begin their journey into postproduction as assistants, Stephen made a name for himself right away as an editor in the indie film world.  His work with directors Doug Liman (Getting in, Swingers, Go) and Jill Sprecher (Clockwatchers, Thirteen Conversations About One Thing) quickly established Stephen as a creative force to be reckoned with in the cutting room. Soon after Stephen would meet a director who would have a significant impact on his career...Steven Soderbergh.  Their time together would begin with the film Traffic.  This would not only be the first of Stephen's three Oscar nominations, but also his first Oscar win.  Following Traffic, Stephen would take on the duties of editing Soderbergh's "Ocean's" films, starring an actor that would eventually become a prominent director in his own right, George Clooney. When Clooney began looking for an editor for his first project, Confessions of a Dangerous Mind, Soderbergh recommended Mirrione.  The creative partnership between Clooney and Mirrione would result in seven feature films.  Not one to rest on his laurels too long, over that same time period Mirrione would also edit five of Alejandro G. Iñárritu's films (21 Grams, Babel, Biutiful, Birdman or (The Unexpected Virtue of Ignorance) and The Revenant).

Ellis and Corbin and ERIC MARSH discuss "Che: Part One," Steven Soderbergh's process oriented tale of the Cuban Revolution, first movie ever shot on a 4K Movie Camera. Topics include: Oakley Sunglasses, Soderbergh during this time, digital cinemtography blessing his particular way of working, and why CAPITALIST STREAMING PLATFORMS make this movie hard to watch.  Ellis: 'Song at the end is "Carlos Puebla – Hasta Siempre, Comandante," which is about Che.' Our next episode is about SPEED RACER. Tremble in fear.   

Caring crusaders are almost their own movie genre and one of the most successful films about such is Erin Brockovich. Steven Soderbergh had a huge year in 2000 with Traffic and also this biopic, turning both into blockbuster Oscar-winners. He won the award for directing Traffic while Julia Roberts won her own gold trophy for playing the brash, real-life, legal assistant who works day and night to expose an environmental cover-up that killed children in a small California town. Albert Finney, Aaron Eckhart and Marg Helgenberger shine too, but this movie belong to Julia…and it might be her signature performance. So, Stick Man, be like Erin and be an empath in provocative clothes as we file a class action lawsuit against those who poison water, but as we also review Erin Brockovich in this 673rd edition of Have You Ever Seen.

The second half of Soderbergh's unbelievable year 2000 was TRAFFIC, his sprawling adaptation of the 1989 Channel 4 miniseries about the many sides of the drug trade. At the time, it was hailed as a highly nuanced and humane look at narcotics. But how does it look from 2025? Joining us to discuss is professor and author of our much-cited Quick Fixes: Drugs in America from Prohibition to the 21st Century Binge, Benjamin Y. Fong! We talk macroeconomics, "Mexico filter," drug movies, Benicio Del Toro's accent, and a whole lot more. Really fascinating episode, we hope you enjoy!

Con Presencia (2024), Steven Soderbergh incursiona por primera vez en el género de lo sobrenatural. En la historia de una entidad fantasmal que habita en una casa e interactúa con los miembros de una familia, el prolífico director estadounidense experimenta en la forma y articula la experiencia de lo sobrenatural como algo liberador, fascinante y glorioso. Presencia puede verse en Amazon Prime Video. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Soderbergh finally hit a box-office home run in 2000 with ERIN BROCKOVICH, a Julia Roberts-starring biopic about a paralegal with a big personality and a nose for corporate environmental malfeasance, and the one-two punch of BROCKOVICH and TRAFFIC in a single year cemented him as a truly major filmmaker. This is one of the big ones, so we brought in our friend Carlee from Hit Factory to talk about basically everything: capitalism, the climate, gender, fashion, interpassivity, Todd Haynes, and Sheryl Crow.

On this pod, we discuss two different spectrums of the spy thriller... S2 of Andor on Disney + from Tony Gilroy and Co. and Steven Soderbergh's newest release, Black Bag, currently on Peacock.Check it out and let us know what you think.

Steven Soderbergh may be one of the greatest filmmakers the industry has ever seen. In contrast to the high-octane excitement of Mission: Impossible, AKAPAD The Film Buff explores a compelling spy movie alternative that feels as polished as its big-budget counterparts. AKAPAD The Film Buff delves into Soderbergh's illustrious career, highlighting how a single pivotal scene can define an entire film.

A young woman is involuntarily committed to a mental institution, where she is confronted by her greatest fear - but is it real or a product of her delusion? Steven Soderbergh. 2018.

In 1999, Steven Soderbergh pushed his formal experimentation even further, rendering a straightforward revenge tale into a modernist masterpiece. In the process, the Terence Stamp/Peter Fonda joint THE LIMEY examines memory, the legacy of the 60s, and inaugurates Sodie's obsession with Cockney rhyming slang.

It's the OUT OF SIGHT episode, and our guest is Bilge Ebiri. Do we need to sell you on this? OK, fine: in 1998 Steven Soderbergh took a job for hire directing an Elmore Leonard adaptation and ended up finding the style that would define much of his career, minting George Clooney as a movie star, capturing Jennifer Lopez's best-ever performance, working with Don Cheadle and Luis Guzman and a bunch of other people for the first time, and making one of the most watchable films of the 1990s. Jake also read the whole book. We talk about Leonard's moral universe, prison stuff, cop stuff, crime fiction stuff. I mean, come on. It's the OUT OF SIGHT episode with Bilge.

This week on The Decision Reel, we dive into the inspiring true story of Erin Brockovich! Join the crew as we break down Julia Roberts' powerhouse performance, the David vs. Goliath legal battle, and all the small-town charm and corporate drama packed into this Oscar-winning film. We explore the real-life stakes behind the story, the sharp script, the emotional moments, and, of course, sprinkle in plenty of laughs and tangents along the way. Is this a movie that still packs a punch today, or does it feel stuck in its early 2000s vibes? Tune in to hear our takes!

With summer right around the corner, Nick and Sophia recap 2025 releases thus far to highlight some of their recommendations and analyze the dynamic state of Hollywood. First, they announce some recent Oscar changes and category updates. Then, to celebrate the one year anniversary of Challengers, their first favorite film of 2024, they share a spoiler-free review of Ryan Coogler's equally sensational and latest film, Sinners (12:01). Stay tuned for their thoughts on other early 2025 releases, including our favorite highlights, Steven Soderbergh's Black Bag and Andrew Ahn's The Wedding Banquet, and which coming attractions they're most excited for (32:24).

Ryan Coogler's Sinners, a singularly ambitious horror film set in 1930s Mississippi, is currently setting theaters ablaze (in an array of formats and aspect ratios to boot). The film stars Coogler mainstay Michael B. Jordan in a dual role as a pair of badass twins returning to their rural hometown of Clarksdale to build a blues joint—with performers whose talents are powerful enough to summon some unwanted spirits.  To talk about this fascinating film—which weaves together genres and tones to startling, if at times overwhelming, effect—Film Comment Editors Clinton Krute and Devika Girish invited Podcast veteran Robert Daniels (Rogerebert.com) and FC's very own Michael Blair into their humble juke-joint. After sinking their fangs into Sinners, the group touches on a few other new theatrical releases they're excited about, including Steven Soderbergh's stylish spy thriller Black Bag (42:26) and Andrew Ahn's The Wedding Banquet (52:22), a refreshing update on Ang Lee's 1993 classic.
