Podcast appearances and mentions of Steven Soderbergh

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.

I remember reading somewhere that men learn to love the Draft Class that they're attracted to, and that women become more and more attracted to the Draft Class that they love.One of the most versatile and prolific directors who has ever lived. Unpredictable. Exciting. Remarkable track record of consistency while never feeling repetitive. True master of many cinematic crafts.

Editors - Chris Patterson and Dirk Westervelt ACE EENIE MEANIE editors Chris Patterson and Dirk Westervelt reunite after a six-year break from their first co-editing effort, ZOMBIELAND: DOUBLE TAP.  From its indie vibe to its seventies-inspired aesthetic, EENIE MEANIE doesn't shy away from its influences. Chris shares how both he and writer/director Shawn Simmons gravitated towards filmmakers like Steven Soderbergh, drawing inspiration from classics like OUT OF SIGHT and OCEAN'S ELEVEN. EENIE MEANIE tells the story of Edie, a reformed teenage getaway driver who gets dragged back into her unsavoury past when a former employer offers her an opportunity to save the life of her chronically unreliable ex-boyfriend.   The film was written and directed by Shawn Simmons, making his directorial debut. CHRIS PATTERSON On his way to co-editing ZOMBIELAND: DOUBLE TAP with Dirk, Chris began his career assisting on films such as THE ROYAL TENENBAUMS (2001), ANALYZE THAT (2002), THE TOWN (2010), ZERO DARK THIRTY (2012) and READY PLAYER ONE (2018). DIRK WESTERVELT ACE When he's not cutting for James Mangold on projects such as; LOGAN (2017), FORD v FERRARI (2019), and INDIANA JONES and THE DIAL OF DESTINY (2023), Dirk's editing chops can be seen in  DEADPOOL 2 (2018) and ZOMBIELAND: DOUBLE TAP (2019).

In this episode we tackle Steven Soderbergh's "Out of Sight" (1998), the smooth, stylish crime caper that helped make George Clooney a movie star, and, against all odds, convinced us that (the-artist-formerly-known-as) Jennifer Lopez could actually act... Yes, the same JLo responsible for a string of recent cinematic crimes turns in such a memorable performance here, that we're forced to eat our words… at least for 90 minutes.Make a film recommendation for an upcoming episode!Thank you for listening!

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.

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?

Chris and Neil are back to talk movies. Like normal but different movies. First, they talk one they missed in the theater- the Steven Soderbergh horror(?) Presence starring Lucy Liu, Chris Sullivan and Callina Liang. Then after news, they talk Ari Aster's newest bonkers film- Eddington starring Joaquin Phoenix, Pedro Pascal, Emma Stone, Austin Butler and more! Is Presence gonna scare your pants off?

Today they discuss one of the greatest sports movies of all time: Bennett Miller's ‘Moneyball'—starring Brad Pitt and Jonah Hill. They explore the film's very curious production history with director Steven Soderbergh, share why they think this was the best performance of Pitt's career, and examine what the movie's legacy is considering Miller's lack of work following its release.

We present our Ocean's Trilogy review!Ocean's is a series of heist films. Beginning with the 1960 Rat Pack film Ocean's 11, the series has seen mixed to favorable critical reception and substantial commercial success. After the 1960 film, a reboot trilogy was released from 2001 to 2007, often cited as defining its genre and leading to a proliferation and commercialization of heist films throughout the world. The most commercially successful was the first film, Ocean's Eleven (2001).

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).

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!

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.

Streaming now, this Neon release starring Lucy Liu and Julia Fox redefines haunted house narratives with its innovative storytelling and emotional depth.

Is this Soderbergh's boldest work yet? Discover AKAPAD's signature blend of personal insight and critical analysis in this must-read review for film enthusiasts and horror fans alike. Don't miss his take on one of the year's most intriguing films!

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.

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.

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.
