From executive producing Pulp Fiction to producing Django Unchained, Out of Sight, Erin Brockovich, Get Shorty, Reality Bites, Man on the Moon, and The Hateful Eight, Stacey has built a career through her collaborations with visionary directors like Quentin Tarantino, Steven Soderbergh, and Danny DeVito.

Because that's the same commitment you need to have to the movies that you make."The Birth of Jersey Films and Creative Freedom (28:15) How Stacey became a founding partner with Danny DeVito and Michael Shamberg, using their discretionary fund to make blind deals with emerging talent like Quentin Tarantino before he'd directed a single frame.Hollywood's Most Beloved Collaborators (35:11) Stacey shares insights on working with industry legends: Stephen Soderbergh, Julia Roberts, George Clooney, John Travolta's generosity, and Hillary Swank's determination to use her Oscar win to get Freedom Writers made.Django Unchained and Controversial Testing (41:03) Stacey shares the remarkable story of how Django Unchained tested similarly across demographic groups, including a screening in the Deep South.Stacey demonstrates how authentic relationships, unwavering taste, and commitment to meaningful stories can create a lasting impact on cinema and culture.Host: Kevin GoetzGuest: Stacey SherProducer: Kari CampanoWriters: Kevin Goetz, Darlene Hayman, Nick Nunez, and Kari CampanoAudio Engineer: Gary Forbes (DG Entertainment)For more information about Stacey Sher:Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stacey_SherIMDB: https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0792049/X: https://x.com/staceysher?lang=enFor more information about Kevin Goetz:- Website: www.KevinGoetz360.com- Audienceology Book: https://www.simonandschuster.com/books/Audience-ology/Kevin-Goetz/9781982186678- How to Score in Hollywood: https://www.amazon.com/How-Score-Hollywood-Secrets-Business/dp/198218986X/- Facebook, X, Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Substack: @KevinGoetz360- LinkedIn @Kevin Goetz- Screen Engine/ASI Website: www.ScreenEngineASI.com
I think BLACK BAG misses the mark but it's one of Melanie's favourites. So what happens when we disagree on whether, from a craft perspective, a story is working or not? Well, you'll have to tune in to this week's episode to find out. One thing I'll say is that this might be a film that is meant for super fans of the spy genre (i.e., Melanie) because it seems to assume a level of knowledge about the world of espionage that the average viewer (i.e., me) simply doesn't have.

It's like seeing Draft Class for the first time, like you can be passing on the street, and you look at each other for a few seconds, and there's this kind of a recognition like you both know something. Next moment the person's gone, and it's too late to do anything about it. And you always remember it because it was there, and you let it go, and you think to yourself, 'What if I had stopped? What if I had said something?' What if, what if... it may only happen a few times in your life.Joining Jon Saks for the Final (for now...?)

André Holland has wowed us in movies like MOONLIGHT and his new Sundance hit LOVE, BROOKLYN. But he says that he gets the most comments -- and perhaps even owes his career -- to his role as Dr. Algernon Edwards in the Steven Soderbergh-helmed Cinemax series THE KNICK. It was a role he could relate to, and of the kind he'd been searching high and low for -- one that fit. He and Jordan talk about the essential perspective that role brought to the Peak TV era, and the show's often unsettling resonance for today (despite being set in 1900).Then, Jordan offers a tribute to the indelible actor Graham Greene.

Movie of the Year: 1999The Limey (feat. Adam Kempenaar from Filmspotting)Why The Limey Still Packs a PunchIn this episode of Movie of the Year, the Taste Buds turn their sights on The Limey (1999), Steven Soderbergh's sharp revenge thriller about grief, family, and memory. Mixing classic crime tropes with experimental editing, The Limey is both a gripping noir and an impressionistic meditation on loss. With Terence Stamp delivering a career-defining performance, the film remains one of Soderbergh's most daring works.1960s vs 1990s in The LimeyAt the heart of The Limey lies a conversation between two eras. Terence Stamp's Wilson—a hardened ex-con from the swinging London of the 1960s—arrives in neon-soaked Los Angeles of the 1990s to uncover the truth about his daughter's death. The Taste Buds discuss how the film contrasts the ideals, aesthetics, and morality of these decades, using Wilson's journey as both a cultural clash and a generational reckoning.Steven Soderbergh's Directing Style in The LimeyKnown for pushing boundaries, Steven Soderbergh infuses The Limey with fractured editing, nonlinear storytelling, and the haunting use of flashbacks. The Taste Buds break down how these stylistic choices elevate a standard revenge plot into a hypnotic piece of cinema. They also explore how The Limey connects to Soderbergh's other 1999 classic, Out of Sight, and how his experimental style paved the way for his 2000s successes.Family, Revenge, and The Limey's Emotional CoreWhile The Limey is structured like a thriller, its true heartbeat lies in themes of family and redemption. Wilson's grief over his daughter and his desperate search for answers give the film unexpected emotional weight. The Taste Buds explore how family drives the story forward, turning vengeance into something deeply human and heartbreaking.Guest Panelist: Adam Kempenaar from FilmspottingJoining this week's episode is Adam Kempenaar, host of the long-running podcast Filmspotting. Adam brings decades of cinephile experience and critical insight to the discussion, offering a deeper look at Soderbergh's influence and the lasting cultural relevance of The Limey. His perspective helps connect the film to both classic noir traditions and contemporary cinema.Listen to Filmspotting here!Bonus Segment: 10 Things I Hate About You (1999)The Taste Buds balance The Limey's brooding intensity with a bonus discussion of 10 Things I Hate About You, the teen comedy that reimagines Shakespeare for the 1990s. They break down the film's clever script, breakout performances from Heath Ledger and Julia Stiles, and how it epitomizes the teen movie boom of the decade. Together, the two films showcase the remarkable range of 1999 cinema.FAQ About The Limey Podcast EpisodeWhat is The Limey (1999) about?The film follows Wilson (Terence Stamp), an ex-con who travels to Los Angeles to investigate his daughter's mysterious death.Why is Steven Soderbergh's style in The Limey unique?Through nonlinear editing, impressionistic flashbacks, and tonal shifts, Soderbergh transforms a revenge story into an artful meditation on grief and memory.Why is family important in the film?Wilson's pursuit of justice is rooted in his...

Was passiert, wenn ein Spionagefilm komplett auf Action verzichtet – und stattdessen in Küchen, Büros und einem Bootshaus spielt? Black Bag von Steven Soderbergh setzt dort an: Statt Schießereien oder Verfolgungsjagden gibt es Gespräche, Schweigen und die Frage, wer in Wahrheit für wen arbeitet. Cate Blanchett, Michael Fassbender und ein hochkarätiges Ensemble drehen das Genre dabei einmal auf links. Alles hängt an einem gestohlenen Programm, einem Maulwurf im System – und einer Essenseinladung, die gefährlicher ist als jede Pistole.
A little something different this week: we're looking at two Soderbergh-scripted adaptations of international genre films! First, Soderbergh adapted Ole Bornedal's 1994 NATTEVAGTEN as 1997's NIGHTWATCH, also directed by Bornedal, starring post-TRAINSPOTTING, pre-PHANTOM MENACE Ewan McGregor as a night watchman at a spooky morgue. Next, Soderbergh turned Fabián Bielinsky's 2000 Argentine heist smash NUEVA REINAS (NINE QUEENS) into 2004's CRIMINAL, the directorial debut of Gregory Jacobs starring John C. Reilly and Diego Luna. Why did Sodey do this? Is there anything of the man in these adaptations? Do you need to watch four films before you listen to this episode? The answer to the last question is no! Fun ep, please enjoy. Further Reading: Steven Soderbergh: Interviews, ed.

SEASON 2 - EPISODE 153 - Steven Soderbergh - Director In this extended episode of the Team Deakins Podcast, we speak with director Steven Soderbergh (BLACK BAG, TRAFFIC, OUT OF SIGHT). Steven credits his father for giving him the movie bug, and he shares how a young adulthood shooting short films and writing spec scripts in Louisiana led to the 8-years-in-the-making overnight success of his debut feature: SEX, LIES, AND VIDEOTAPE. We spend much of the episode discussing Steven's insights into directing and filmmaking, and he opens up about his transition into shooting his own films under the alias Peter Andrews. Steven also reflects on directing OUT OF SIGHT, recalling how he ended up with the job, when a studio note protected him from his own instinct to be lean in the film's edit, and why he felt the movie was at stake when he went to war to cast Jennifer Lopez. Steven also stresses the importance of character and reputation in the business, and he recalls the pitfalls of acting like an egomaniac that he witnessed while crewing in his early days. We also discuss the value of establishing a basic grammar and set of rules specific to the film one is making, and Steven shares how he tries to listen to what a movie wants “itself” to be. - Recommended Viewing: OUT OF SIGHT - This episode is sponsored by Aputure & Barco

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.

Send us a textThe theatrical landscape of 2025 tells a fascinating story through its box office patterns and creative trends. Animation continues its unstoppable theatrical dominance across multiple studios, while long-running franchises like Mission Impossible and Jurassic World show unmistakable signs of fatigue. Has the time come to put these decades-old properties to rest?Our midyear film roundup reveals a striking preference for original storytelling over franchise continuation. From the breathtaking coastal beauty of Paolo Sorrentino's Parthenope to the inventive shark thrills of Dangerous Animals, our top picks demonstrate cinema's continued ability to surprise and captivate. Steven Soderbergh's spy thriller Black Bag showcases masterful craftsmanship, while Tim Robinson's Friendship brings his distinctive comedic sensibilities to feature length with remarkable success.The conversation turns passionate when discussing Ryan Coogler's Sinners and Ari Aster's Eddington – films that blend genres with extraordinary confidence while delivering profound thematic depth. Both represent bold, auteur-driven visions that resonated deeply with audiences seeking thoughtful, challenging cinema.Looking ahead, the remainder of 2025 promises an embarrassment of riches from acclaimed filmmakers including Park Chan-wook, Paul Thomas Anderson, and Jim Jarmusch. Their upcoming works, alongside anticipated releases like Edgar Wright's The Running Man and Blumhouse's Weapons, suggest our year-end lists may undergo significant transformation.What films have captured your imagination in 2025? Join our conversation about this remarkable year in cinema and share your own discoveries and disappointments.

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.

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).

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!

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.
