Podcast appearances and mentions of Steven Soderbergh

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.

Agenten, die sich gegenseitig verdächtigen, aber auch miteinander befreundet und vereinzelt sogar verheiratet sind. Sie arbeiten in verschiedenen Spezialbereichen, sind es gewohnt sich nicht immer gegenseitig alles erzählen zu dürfen. Doch mindestens einer von ihnen soll ein Verräter sein! Black Bag von Steven Soderbergh zeigt dies genauso spannend erzählt wie unterhaltsam gespielt.

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. Film writer and podcaster and UK resident Elena Lazic joins us to get limey! Good ep!

We break down its sleek direction, gripping espionage twists, and the moral dilemmas at its core—loyalty to country vs. loyalty to love. With sharp dialogue and tense performances, does Black Bag redefine the genre or simply refine it?

This week in physical media may be appealing to the cults out there. Whichever you belong to, Erik Childress and Peter Sobczynski are here to guide you towards your particular following. Perhaps you are in the Richard E. Grant & Bruce Robinson cult. Or stay on that side of the pond with an Oscar-winning musical and a film that was the Bridgerton of its time in the way it uses music. Maybe you're in the late Friday the 13th cult and enjoy its post-Paramount days. Or you have a taste for a marathon of Blaxploitation. Whether you love movie doggies or mutated bears, its best to just avoid the sleeping bags this week. 1:38 - Criterion (Withnail & I 4K, How to Get Ahead in Advertising 4K) 14:36 - Sony (Oliver 4K, A Knight's Tale 4K) 26:29 - Arrow (Jason Goes to Hell 4K, Jason X 4K) 47:09 - Shout (Blaxploitation Classics Vol 1) 1:02:43 - Kino (Wonder Dogs, The Amorous Adventures of Moll Flanders, Prophecy 4K) 1:23:01 – New Theatrical Titles On Blu-ray (The Quiet Ones, Presence 4K) 1:24:15 - New Blu-ray Announcements

In the thirty-seventh episode of Season 11: The Son of Cult Flicks, Kyle is joined for a one-on-one conversation with cinematographer Ezra Balcha to discuss the surrealist satire on the falsity of the American Dream, the soullessness of corporate cubicle life, and the deconstruction of language in Steven Soderbergh's anarchic and creatively revitalizing Schizopolis (1996).

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.

Click here to send us a message!This week we're taking a look at two very different queer icons. Musical geniuses Freddie Mercury and Liberace each got the biopic treatment in the 2010's, and each got very different treatment. Behind the Candelabra starred Oscar winners Michael Douglas and Matt Damon and was directed by Oscar winner Steven Soderbergh. Despite the pedigree, only HBO would release it. Bohemian Rhapsody, by contrast, despite a troubled production and a problematic filmmaker, somehow won four Academy Awards in 2019. 

A chronicle of the tempestuous six-year romance between megastar singer Liberace and his young lover Scott Thorson. Steven Soderbergh. 2013.

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!

Voordat MovieInsider John richting het land van de rijzende zon vertrekt bespreekt hij samen met Coen twee nieuwe releases: Black Bag en Riff Raff.

New month, new theme! It's Cinco de Thoro, and the theme is The Spy Who Loved May.  We know now that Gina Carano is a bad person, but she was sure fun to watch kick ass in 2011. Note from McFly: he waited all episode for Thor to bring up that Gina Carano and Ewan McGregor were both in the extended Star Wars Universe as bad ass characters that faught Mandalorians, but it never happened. Chibi hosts the Unidentified Flying Obsession podcast. The next spy topic is Three Days of the Condor (1975).

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.

What the hell is going on with Steven Soderbergh's 1996 super-low-budget labor of love comedy SCHIZOPOLIS? Our returning guests, the filmmakers and all-around handsome devils Jordan Fish and Ray Tintori of the To The White Sea Podcast, help us get to the bottom of it. Is this quietly a devastating analysis of a failed marriage starring the director and his real-life ex-wife Betsy Brantley? Or is all that drowned out by too much proto-Random Humor and OK Cola-style 90s disaffection? Is Jake even capable of being nice about this movie?

In this episode we dive deep into Steven Soderbergh's latest project 'Black Bag.' The conversation extends to the storytelling prowess of screenwriter David Koepp, the complexities of character development, and the nuances of the film's cinematography and editing. We also touch on other upcoming movies from directors like Paul Thomas Anderson and Spike Lee, and examine performances by Michael Fassbender and Cate Blanchett.   00:00 Introduction and Excitement for Upcoming Movies 03:50 Character Analysis and Performances 05:38 Cinematic Techniques and Directorial Style 11:09 Spoilers 32:50 Cate Blanchett's Character Study 37:27 Screenplay Precision 39:40 Directorial Styles and Constraints 43:27 Stephen Soderbergh's Approach 49:02 Modern Masterpieces and Recency Bias 52:35 Final Thoughts

It used to be that the very best of cinema could be found only on the screens of a movie theater. Clearly though, that is no longer the case. On this week's show, Dan Webster, Nathan Weinbender, and Mary Pat Treuthart discuss two cinematic efforts that are examples of what can be done given a bit of directing skill and the power of superior acting. The first is a four-part Netflix limited miniseries out of England titled "Adolescence," and the second is the latest entertainment from Steven Soderbergh, titled "Black Bag."

Michael Angarano has been acting since he was an infant and has a long resume of memorable work in both comedic and dramatic roles—“Almost Famous,” “Will and Grace,” “This is Us,” “Gentlemen Broncos,” “Oppenheimer,” to name a few. His latest is a wonderful comedy with a lot of heart that he stars in, co-wrote and directed called “Sacramento.” On this episode he talks about the long road of getting that film made, how he needed to adjust once he saw Michael Cera's approach to the role, and the interesting realization that he may not need to act and direct and write at the same time again. He tells a story about suddenly facing a strange form of stage fright, and the sensitive way Steven Soderbergh helped him get though it. He explains why he says he doesn't have an acting process, has a particular aversion to relaxation exercises, and much more. Back To One is the in-depth, no-nonsense, actors-on-acting podcast from  Filmmaker Magazine. In each episode, host Peter Rinaldi invites one working actor to do a deep dive into their unique process, psychology, and approach to the craft.  Follow Back To One on Instagram

This week, Steven Soderbergh asks the question: how sick would it be to create international strife through advanced spycraft to prove just how monogamous you are?

In this episode, Sam and Ian will look ahead to the exciting films projects slated for release in 2025. We've got new films from Bong Joon Ho, Steven Soderbergh, Danny Boyle, Paul Thomas Anderson, Benny Safdie and Josh Safdie, Noah Baumbach, Maggie Gyllenhaal, Yorgos Lanthimos, James Cameron, and Guillermo del Toro on the horizon.

In 1989, Steven Soderbergh was on top of the world. By 1995, he was underneath...THE UNDERNEATH, that is! We're talking Sodie's very loose remake of the 1949 Robert Siodmak film noir CRISS-CROSS (and the 1934 novel on which it was based), noir in the 1990s, armored cars, and Soderbergh's evolving film language as he becomes the director we all know and love. Nobody's favorite Sodie movie, but maybe somebody's favorite ep? Remains to be seen! Further Reading: Criss Cross by Don Tracy Steven Soderbergh: Interviews ed.

BLACK BAG, Steven Soderbergh's latest 90-minute collaboration with writer David Koepp, is in theory a sprawling international spy thriller, but in practice it's a more intimate study of how a marriage can thrive in an environment where trusting your spouse is considered a weakness. This week we talk about how that genre disconnect works for and against BLACK BAG, before bringing in this pairing's companion film, 1934's THE THIN MAN, to compare how Nick and Nora Charles's bantering, crime-solving partnership compares to the cooler, less boozy charms of Cate Blanchett and Michael Fassbender's married spies. Then for Your Next Picture Show, we reach back to one of this podcast's very first episodes to cannibalize a recommendation for a film that we've already covered on the show, but was too clear an inspiration on BLACK BAG to ignore. (And really, is there ever a bad time to recommend WHO'S AFRAID OF VIRGINIA WOOLF?)  Please share your thoughts about THE THIN MAN, BLACK BAG, or anything else in the world of film, by sending an email or voice memo to comments@nextpictureshow.net, or leaving a short voicemail at (773) 234-9730.

Cate Blanchett, her wardrobe, Michael Fassbender, Rege-Jean Page, that house, Pierce Brosnan…there are so many nice things to look at in Steven Soderbergh's new spy thriller, in theaters and already out on streaming now.

Steven Soderbergh's new BLACK BAG is a spy thriller, sure, but it's also the story of a marriage, and watching its sophisticated central couple banter their way through a sprawling mystery, it's hard not to be reminded of one of cinema's most enduring and endearing crime-solving couples, Nick and Nora Charles. So this week we're going back to their film debut, 1934's THE THIN MAN, to see how W.S. Van Dyke's (barely) pre-Code crime caper balances the effervescent charm of its hard-drinking stars against the plot mechanics of a murder mystery, and whether any of the film's many supporting players ever manage to steal the spotlight from Nick, Nora, and their disobedient dog Asta. Then in Feedback, a listener writes in with a notable omission from our recent discussion of STARSHIP TROOPERS. Please share your thoughts about THE THIN MAN, BLACK BAG, or anything else in the world of film, by sending an email or voice memo to comments@nextpictureshow.net, or leaving a short voicemail at (773) 234-9730.

Bong Joon Ho's new MICKEY 17 takes a lot of big swings, from star Robert Pattinson's vocal affectation to a comedic fixation on “sauce,” all of it in service of big, bold, arguably blunt satire. It all makes for a somewhat messy but highly discussable film, both on its own and in conversation with Paul Verhoeven's STARSHIP TROOPERS, another big swing of a sci-fi satire that aims to entertain as it undermines propagandistic societies where leaders rule by catchphrase, where citizenship is conditional, and where working-class lives are expendable. We dive into all of that, plus space bugs that may not actually be bugs, then offer a Your Next Picture Show recommendation for another MICKEY 17 pairing contender, Duncan Jones' MOON. Please share your thoughts about STARSHIP TROOPERS, MICKEY 17, or anything else in the world of film, by sending an email or voice memo to comments@nextpictureshow.net, or leaving a short voicemail at (773) 234-9730.

Amer's Netflix comedy series about his life, Mo, is now in its second season. His family is Palestinian, and fled the first Gulf War, so Amer grew up in Houston from age nine. "Palestinian culture is a folksy farmer kind of mentality and life," Amer says. "And when I came to Texas, one of the things that was really attractive to me was the country music, the folksy music, the storytelling tradition of that." Amer spoke with Dave Davies in 2022 when his series debuted.
