In doing so, they will look at their filmographies, explore what drives them artistically and what makes their decision making process so fascinating. Add in a few silly tangents and a fun game at the end of the episode and you've got yourself a podcast we truly hope you love. On episode 98 of the Director Watch Podcast, the boys are joined by Brian Tallerico, Managing Editor of RogerEbert.com, to discuss the next film in their Peter Jackson series, The Frighteners (1996). The critical success of Heavenly Creatures proved to put Jackson on the map, with Hollywood calling for him to start making bigger pictures. In writing a treatment in 1992 for an idea that would become The Frighteners, Oscar winning director Robert Zemeckis viewed their idea as a chance to be a spin off to the television series Tales from the Crypt, centering on a small town private eye who can see and speak to the dead. In working with Jackson and Fran Walsh, Zemeckis liked the idea of the young director making the film, and thus became the last film he would make before the biggest project of his life. But is it good, is it successful, or is it a forgotten relic that doesn't make sense within Jackson's filmography. Ryan, Jay, and Brian debate where The Frighteners lands, the importance of Weta Digital, the career of Michael J. Fox, Jackson getting the movie filmed in New Zealand even though it takes place in America, and preview the start of the boys' journey to Middle Earth over the next couple of weeks.

So this week we have a solid set of four topics! First we talk about Ralf's new Deutsche Uhrenmanufaktur Glashütte, or DUG, a new watch from a new watch brand out of Ralf's home country Germany (affectionately we start calling this the Duggie). Second, we talk about an interesting action that the founder of Studio Underdog made to combat copycat watches out of China. Third, we talk about the vast array of new jump hour watches that have seemingly sprung out of nowhere simultaneously. And lastly, we delve into whether the new Tag Heuer F1 is worth it or not! Give us a follow, and feel free to reach out to us on Instagram: @lumeplottersOr… leave us an audio comment using the link below, and we may just play it in an upcoming episode: https://www.speakpipe.com/lumeplotters

Welcome to season 2 episode 11 of the Timist Podcast Series - check out the show notes below for this part 2 of a 2 part series:We kick things off with the famous toothpick incident - the one that managed to ruffle feathers at none other than Patek Philippe. From there we dive into a rich discussion on natural talent vs. learned skill, especially when it comes to people management in high end luxury.Of course since we're talking watches, the topic of investment vs. passion and depreciation had to be explored, but we also learn how Kelly navigates conversations with clients who sometimes prioritize profits rather than craftsmanship.We also explore the gender gap in the watch world, and hear a touching story about her grandfather, and the very personal and heartfelt reason behind her choice on what she drives today.To close things out Kelly shares how she continues to learn within the horological space, and offers advice for both newcomers and seasoned watch collectors alike.Check out Kelly's Instagram:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/kelly_yochCheck out One More Wave:https://onemorewave.com INSTAGRAM:Follow me:https://www.instagram.com/the_timist_IGSupport the showSUBSCRIBE TO MY YOUTUBE:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCBeDf0c0V70qISfpu_mHchw?sub_confirmation=1CONTINUE THE CONVERSATION ON INSTAGRAM:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/the_timist_IG

On episode 97 of the Director Watch Podcast, the boys are joined by film critic Jesse Nussman to discuss the next film in their Peter Jackson series, Heavenly Creatures (1994). After making a name for himself as a horror director, Jackson took a different route for his next film, incorporating his genre sensibilities for a drama about a real life murder case in New Zealand. Centered around two young girls who become friends and a tight bond that is threatened by their parents, who find it stranger than your average friendship. In an attempt to be with each other forever, the two girls come up with a plan to run away, and in doing so, commit a heinous crime that shocked the entire country. By tackling this subject, Jackson was able to embody a magical realism to the entire film, particularly in the imaginative world the girls have built for each other, and in doing so, created a one of a kind bio-pic that is haunting and heartbreaking. Ryan, Jay, and Jesse breakdown their thoughts on the film, if running away was a good plan, the murder weapon used in the crime, the breakout performances for Melanie Lynskey and Kate Winslet as well as the different paths each actress took, Jackson's imagery in the dream world, if the extended cut adds anything new to the story, and how hard it is to find this film on streaming and physical media.  You can listen to the Director Watch Podcast wherever you stream podcasts, from iTunes, iHeartRadio, Soundcloud, Stitcher, Spotify, Audible, Amazon Music and more.

On episode 96 of the Director Watch Podcast, the boys discuss the first film in their Peter Jackson series, Braindead (1992). The journey for the boys to talk about Peter Jackson has taken a long road, winding road to get here, much like the director's acclaimed trilogy. But in one of the more fascinating careers of the last thirty years, Peter Jackson saw a rise to fame after years of making scrappy, independent horror-leaning films that landed him a couple of big checks that became some of the most known films of the 21st century. By 1992, Jackson had already made two films; lesser known titles Bad Taste and Meet the Fables (which the guys give their brief thoughts on at the beginning of the episode). But it was his third film, Braindead, that was his breakout; a zombie comedy splatter film about a son's relationship with his needy mother that turns gory when she is bitten by a hybrid rat-monkey creature and begins to transform into a zombie. In the vein of the Evil Dead franchise, Jackson goes all out with the gore and mayhem to allow for a unique, memorable horror experience like no other. Ryan and Jay breakdown their thoughts on the film, the level of gore and blood in Braindead, ponder how this guy went on to make the films that he did, discuss their favorite kills in the film, preview the rest of the Jackson series and explain why this was the right time to finally do this series.

On episode 95 of the Director Watch Podcast, the boys discuss the final film in their Elaine May series, Ishtar (1987). It had been a few years since Elaine May had been behind the camera, and her return to the big screen was likely her most talked about film, as Ishtar was considered by many at the time to be one of the worst films of all time, and a financial calamity. Following two down on their luck singers who take a gig in the Middle East and get caught up in international espionage, on paper, these films had two big movie stars in a what could be comedy gold. But the behind-the-scenes turmoil mixed with studio interference caused the film to be a disaster, and thus became the final film the director has ever directed. But is it as bad as history made it out to be? Ryan and Jay give their thoughts on the film, the music sung throughout the runtime, Dustin Hoffman and Warren Beatty's careers, why May hasn't been able to make another film, and give out their rankings of her films within the series and how they rank against her pal, Mike Nichols.

On episode 94 of the Director Watch Podcast, the boys are joined by AwardsWatch contributor Trace Sauveur to discuss the next film in their Elaine May series, Mikey and Nicky (1976). Just a few years after the second film, Elaine May set out to make her follow-up to The Heartbreak Kid, and in doing so, made one of the most memorable films of the 1970s in Mikey and Nicky. While the movie was another step forward for the director as a visual storyteller and featured to dynamite performances from Peter Falk and John Cassavetes, its journey to the big screen was wild, as it took May years to hand the studio a finished edit of the film, as she tinkered with it until she was forced to hand it over. Even after its release, she still wasn't fully satisfied with the final film, reworking on it some when it got into the Criterion Collection. In the end, what she gave us is an intense, heartbreaking looking into a crumbling friendship set over the course of one night. Ryan, Jay, and Trace breakdown their thoughts on the film, May's direction, the behind the scenes stories of the making of the film, their thoughts on the main character's friendship, the harsh ending, and the fall of auteur driven cinema of the 1970s.  You can listen to the Director Watch Podcast wherever you stream podcasts, from iTunes, iHeartRadio, Soundcloud, Stitcher, Spotify, Audible, Amazon Music and more.

On episode 93 of the Director Watch Podcast, the boys are joined by film critic Jake Tropila to discuss the next film in their Elaine May series, The Heartbreak Kid (1972). It didn't take long for Elaine May to make her second feature, as she released The Heartbreak Kid just a year after A New Leaf was released. But much like her longtime friend and collaborator Mike Nichols, May elevated just about every aspect of her skills from behind the camera to make one of the greatest comedies of all time; a film that follows a newly married salesman who falls in love on his honeymoon with another woman, and will do whatever it takes to fix the “mistake” he has made. Written by great Neil Simon, May's sophomore feature is a great mirror to Nichol's The Graduate, and represents the same determination but ultimate sadness found within the decisions of the heart found within the younger generation of the 1970s. Ryan, Jay, and Jake break down their feelings on this masterpiece, how they were able to few this film given its copyright issues, the hilarious dialogue, the performance from Charles Grodin, the film's ending, the 2007 remake feature Ben Stiller, who would Hollywood cast as Lenny if The Heartbreak Kid was made today, and the importance of pecan pie.

On episode 92 of the Director Watch Podcast, the boys are joined by AwardsWatch contributor Karen Peterson to discuss the first film in their Elaine May series, A New Leaf (1971). The first series of 2025 covered one half of the dynamic comedy duo of Nichols and May, so it only seemed right the guy's new auteur deep dive explored the fantastic (yet limited) work of Elaine May. Known as a renowned playwright and actress in the 1950s and 1960s, May turned in a script for A New Leaf based on the short story by author Jack Ritchie, about a New York City playboy has run out of money and decides to find a wealthy bride, and in doing so, finds a shy heiress who becomes fond of him. May never intended to direct the film, much less being one of the leading performances in the picture, but studio convinced her to do it, paying her much less than male counterparts at the time to create the project. While over-budget and with tons of delays withstanding, the film is a hilarious, sometimes heartwarming picture about opposites attracting to each other, while also maturing into the person you were meant to be. Ryan, Jay, and Karen break down their thoughts on the film, all the behind-the-scenes mess of the film's production, Walter Matthau and Elaine May's performances, the film's ending, finding May's films on physical media, and the impeccable screenplay at the heart of this debut.  You can listen to the Director Watch Podcast wherever you stream podcasts, from iTunes, iHeartRadio, Soundcloud, Stitcher, Spotify, Audible, Amazon Music and more.

On episode 90 of the Director Watch Podcast, the boys are joined by film critic Tom O'Brien to discuss the final film in their Mike Nichols series, Charlie Wilson's War (2007). For the last film in Mike Nichols' filmography, he attempts again to try and make a political commentary that will stand out as one of best to ever get made. As someone who has tackled the human condition so well throughout his films, Nichols has also chased the idea of making a political film from his films of the 70s, to even a film on this series in Primary Colors. This time working with a script from Aaron Sorkin, Nichols does his best to tell the story of a Texas congressman and the CIA who worked together on a covert operation to support the Afghan mujahideen during the Soviet–Afghan War. Led by Tom Hanks, Julia Roberts, and Philip Seymour Hoffman's stellar performances, Charlie Wilson's War is mostly the best political film Nichols made; you just wonder if he ever needed to chase this whale in the first place considering this film is still a lesser script from the acclaimed screenwriter behind it. Ryan, Jay, and Tom break down their thoughts on the film, Sorkin as a figure in Hollywood, how uneventful the film feels, Hanks wanting Nichols for this film, the greatness of Hoffman, as well as the guys final rankings of Nichols' filmography, and a reminder of the next film series the guys will be covering after their upcoming bonus episode for Nichols' Angels in America. You can listen to the Director Watch Podcast wherever you stream podcasts, from iTunes, iHeartRadio, Soundcloud, Stitcher, Spotify, Audible, Amazon Music and more. This podcast runs 2h.

On episode 89 of the Director Watch Podcast, the boys are joined by AwardsWatch contributor Josh Parham to discuss the next film in their Mike Nichols series, Closer (2004). Things got a little rough for Mike Nichols at the start of the 2000s, with one of the worst films of his career and the decade with What Planet Are You From?; an horrendous idea of a film from the mind of comedian Garry Shandling. Just a few short years later though, Nichols returned to the big screen with a film adaptation of the popular play Closer, about four people entangled in a romance in rather sadistic ways. A controversial piece of work, this is a call back for Nichols, who much like earlier in his career, was fascinated by relationship dynamics and the idea of sex, as covered in films previously in this series, i.e. Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? and Carnal Knowledge. Led by an excellent ensemble, Closer feels somewhat like the culmination of filmmaker, though no everyone on this episode will agree with that statement. Ryan, Jay, and Josh break down their thoughts on the film, if it has aged well, which of the four actors gives the best performance, the dated needle drops to throughout the film, and how Closer uses the idea of time passing throughout the film.

On episode 88 of the Director Watch Podcast, the boys are joined by film critic Ben Miller to discuss the next film in their Mike Nichols series, Primary Colors (1998). Released shortly before one of the biggest political scandals in American history, director Mike Nichols reteamed with writer Elaine May to release their latest film, Primary Colors, based on the best-selling novel about of the same name about a southern governor's rise to becoming President of the United States. Though the book was deemed a work of fiction, it was based around Bill Clinton and his run to the White House, which made for a topical, fascinating subject to dissect, so much so Nichols paid a million dollars for the rights of the book to make it into a film. But as we all know, while Nichols was a hardcore member of the Democratic party and engrossed himself into politics, he struggled in his filmography to land a film that landed a punch when talking about the issues facing our country, and Primary Colors is another mixed bag. Ryan, Jay, and Ben break down their thoughts on the film, the behind the scenes of making the film, if Henry (Adrian Lester) is written poorly, John Travolta's over the top performance, the greatness of Kathy Bates and Billy Bob Thornton, if the film was made too soon during the Clinton administration's time in the White House, if the scandal's in the film are a walk in the park compared to today, and how each of the guys navigate talking politics and making the turkey at Thanksgiving.

On episode 87 of the Director Watch Podcast, the boys are joined by our Editor-In-Chief Erik Anderson to discuss the next film in their Mike Nichols series, The Birdcage (1996). For the better part of two decades, Mike Nichols was chasing the idea of directing some version of the iconic play, La Cage aux Folles. Nichols called the play “one of the greatest comedy structures” of all time, and knew he to be involved with it somehow. So in the mid-1990s, he was able to convince the studios and producers to let him make an American remake of the play and have his longtime, iconic stage collaborator, Elaine May, to write the script; and thus The Birdcage was born. Centering around a gay Miami couple whose son is set to marry the daughter of a conservative U.S. senator, The Birdcage is a groundbreaking, iconic comedy that remains hilarious and timely to this day thanks to the incredible ensemble cast, May's sharp script, and Nichols steady direction bringing it all together. Ryan, Jay, and Erik discuss their thoughts on the film, what their favorite performance is in the movie, how Nichols was able to wrangle Robin Williams' persona in, the dozens of iconic lines, the entire third act of the film, and tangents, tangents, tangents.

In doing so, they will look at their filmographies, explore what drives them artistically and what makes their decision making process so fascinating. Add in a few silly tangents and a fun game at the end of the episode and you've got yourself a podcast we truly hope you love. On episode 86 of the Director Watch Podcast, the boys are joined by Pop Culture Confidential host Christina Jeurling Birro to discuss the next film in their Mike Nichols series, Postcards from the Edge (1990). As we enter the 1990s, Mike Nichols is coming off one of the most successful films of his career, and with his follow-up to Working Girl, he brings to life the deeply honest, humorous, personal story of Carrie Fisher's autobiographical novel, Postcards from the Edge. Based on Fisher's novel inspired by real life events from her childhood, relationship with her mother Debbie Reynolds, her acting career post Star Wars, and her battle with substance abuse, Nichols is expertly able to bring every element of Fisher's life together with a brilliant performance by Meryl Streep, and the excellent work by Shirley MacLaine playing her version of Reynolds, and the tragic yet relatable bond the real mother-daughter had while going through the Hollywood machine. Ryan, Jay, and Christina break down their thoughts on the film, their connection to Fisher and Reynold's careers, how different a role like this is for both Streep and MacLaine, the perfect use of Gene Hackman, the film's depiction of substance abuse and if it goes deep enough on the matter, and the what might possibly be the funniest moment in the history of the show with the discovery of the plot of a Disney Channel original movie from 2004 and how it all ties to the career of Debbie Reynolds. And no, we aren't talking about Halloween Town. You will have to listen to find out, and trust us, it's worth it.

On episode 85 of the Director Watch Podcast, the boys are joined by Associate Editor Sophia Ciminello to discuss the next film in their Mike Nichols series, Working Girl (1988). By the late 1980s, Mike Nichols was back to being a steady force in the industry. After the moderate success of Heartburn, and while filming his other 1988 feature film, Biloxi Blues, he found the script for the next big hit of his career, Working Girl. In finding a tale of an ambitious secretary from Staten Island working her way up the corporate ladder, pretending to be in her boss's role and proving herself valuable while also falling in love with the man she partners with on a big deal for both of their companies. Working Girl is not only a staple within Nichols' filmography, but it is a defining film of the 1980s led by extraordinary performances, zippy dialogue, and just the right amount of earnestness to make it a classic. Ryan, Jay, and Sophia talk about their thoughts on the film, Melanie Griffith's career best performance, just how complex the story is, the hotness of Harrison Ford, the elegance of Sigourney Weaver, which beer brand is the king of cheap beer, discussions on modern popstars, and over a dozen fun tangents that make this episode so long, yet so great.

On episode 84 of the Director Watch Podcast, the boys are joined by Izzy of Be Kind Rewind to discuss the next film in their Mike Nichols series, Silkwood (1983). While most directors from the 1970s flourished during this time period, Mike Nichols struggled through the decade trying to find himself. With two lackluster pictures under his belt, Nichols went back to the theater, look for inspiration and a chance to make something meaningful again. After making some successful plays, he came back to cinema in the early 1980s with one of his most celebrated films to date, a biopic about Karen Silkwood, a a nuclear whistleblower and a labor union activist who investigated alleged wrongdoing at the Kerr-McGee plutonium plant where she worked. The story was all over the news in the late 70s, and the rights to make the film went through hell and back again in the courts, but when it was all set and down, Nichols and company got the chance to make a vital picture that would become a blueprint for Hollywood in telling stories like this for decades to come. Ryan, Jay, and Izzy breakdown their thoughts on the film, how well it holds up, Meryl Streep's incredible performance at the center of the film, queer identity displayed through the eyes of Dolly played by Cher, how smoking hot Kurt Russell was at the time, their thoughts on the current state of physical media, and the worst foods to eat in a movie theater.

On episode 83 of the Director Watch Podcast, the boys are joined by Awards Connection writer Andrew Carden to discuss the next film in their Mike Nichols series, Carnal Knowledge (1971). After starting off on a hot streak with his first two films, Mike Nichols hit a bit of bad luck for his third film, with an adaptation of the renowned novel Catch-22. Considering it was released after the smash hit that was Robert Altman's M*A*S*H, audiences didn't respond to the film at all, but the following year, audience did discuss Nichols' fourth film, the controversial Carnal Knowledge. Focusing on the troubled relationship between two men who meet in college, become friends, and their journey through the sexual relationships they have and share along the way. Might sound like a simple summary but the film is far thornier with the way these men and their relationship with each other and others evolve as the film plays out; making for a fascinating film. Ryan, Jay, and Andrew break down their thoughts on the film, Nicholson's unhinged performance, the idea of an unlikeable protagonist, Ann-Margret's vulnerable work, the film's battle with censorship, the final, controversial scene of the movie, and more.

Welcome back, you bloody space pirates! Thank you for tuning in to another episode of the Star Wars Re-Watch Podcast. This episode is a bit out of order—I meant to edit the previous one first, but here I am working on Episode III. Not a big deal! I'll try not to spoil my thoughts on the last episode as we dive into this exciting continuation of the story. At this point, the children are lost in space. SM-33 navigates them to their port of origin, which turns out to be a bustling pirate base hidden within an asteroid. Unfortunately, the children find themselves captured and must figure out a way to escape. Luckily, they gain an unexpected ally—another prisoner! Here we're introduced to Jod Na Nawood, a Force-wielding “Jedi.” While Whim is ecstatic to meet a Jedi in real life, Fern and KB are skeptical of Jod's claims. Despite their doubts, they strike a deal to help one another. The pirates are ultimately foiled, but not before the children convince Jod to rescue SM-33 before making their daring escape. They jump to lightspeed while still tethered to a fuel line—talk about close calls! Jod, Fern, Neel, KB, and SM-33 escape Port Borgo and head to meet Jod's associate, Kh'ymm. This encounter raises more questions about Jod's true identity. Kh'ymm refers to him as Crimson Jack, marking his third alias so far (the pirates had called him Silvo). Kh'ymm aids the group by deciphering symbols from Fern's backpack to locate At Attin. However, Jod immediately realizes that Kh'ymm has alerted the New Republic. As the kids negotiate yet another deal with Jod to ensure their safe return home, X-wings arrive near the observatory and open fire on their ship. This episode deepens the mystery surrounding At Attin, a legendary location tied to the Old Republic. Generations have passed without anyone from the Republic or Empire reaching it, as the so-called “barrier” obscures it and makes navigation nearly impossible. I thoroughly enjoyed this episode. Kh'ymm's knowledge of At Attin and its connection to other “jewels of the Republic” was fascinating. I hope you found it just as intriguing! Thank you for listening or watching!

Add in a few silly tangents and a fun game at the end of the episode and you've got yourself a podcast we truly hope you love. On episode 82 of the Director Watch Podcast, the boys are joined by AwardsWatch contributor Cody Dericks to discuss the final film in their Mike Nichols series, The Graduate (1967). Just a year after his impressive, celebrated debut film, Mike Nichols returned with one of the most important American films of all time; an era defining feature film that is still as vital, thorny, and thematically rich as it was in the late 1960s. The Graduate was a signature film that ushered in what would become the “New Hollywood,” and showcased a generational anxiety of growing up and growing beyond the ease of one's college life, and the refusal to want to accept your place in the world. It also is a hilarious comedy featuring sexy, memorable performances anchored by the most confident, boundary-pushing directorial work from Nichols in his career. Simply put, it is a masterpiece. Ryan, Jay, and Cody break down their thoughts on the film, Nichol's camera work, their favorite moments of hilarity, the iconic soundtrack, the film's remarkable ending, the films of 1967, the relationship dynamics found in the film and share where they were at in their life post their time in school.

Welcome back you filthy space pirates! It is another episode of the Star Wars Re-Watch podcast. Thank you for joining us. My brother Mike was kind enough to lend his time for two episodes back to back. It is also here we are introduced to whom will be my favorite character in the series moving forward, SM 33. Yet again we have another Star Wars property where an actor portraying a droid steals the spotlight from the rest of the cast. I had no idea Nick Frost was doing the voice of SM 33. He is that good. Fern is able to confuse his logic circuits and convince him, she is now the captain and to bring them back home. Unfortunately, he has no record of where they were and instead astrogates them to Port Borgo. It is here we run into the pirates from the cold open that attacked the New Republic. The children arrive and are ferried by a creature I am fairly certain is native to Endor. anyone else remember Teek? After the children are eventually captured, the are thrown into a prison cell with a mysterious force wielder. While they are away, their parents are scrambling to get help from the supervisor. The droids are not very helpful and continue to stall and simply explain they have violated protocol and there is not aloud to call for help beyond the barrier. Fern's mother tries to expedite by requesting an audience with the supervisor but, delays persist. This was another cute episode. I really enjoyed Nick Frost's performance as SM 33.

On episode 81 of the Director Watch Podcast, the boys are joined by 'Keep It' cohost and 'Jimmy Kimmel Live!' writer Emmy nominee Louis Virtel (for writing the Oscars, no less), to discuss the first film in their Mike Nichols series, Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? (1966). New year, new series, as the guys take a stroll down the career of one of the most famous, influential directors of the last sixty years, Mike Nichols. Known for his excellent reputation with actors and his work on the stage, Nichols first came on the film scene with one of the best debuts in cinema history with the explosive adaptation of the great American play, Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? Following the events of one evening spent with two couples, one being much more naive than the other, we watch a thrilling chess match of devilish wit, psychological damage, and imploding relationships bubble to incendiary results, with four incredible performances at the center of it. Ryan, Jay, and Louis break down their thoughts on the film, Nichols' rise to becoming a director, Burton and Taylor's relationship on and off screen, the historical relevance of this film, the importance of going to sleep, and more.

On episode 80 of the Director Watch Podcast, the boys are joined by film critic Ema Sasic to discuss the final film in their Nancy Meyers series, The Intern (2015). It's hard to imagine that the Nancy Meyers' series is already coming to an end, as the director feels like she has so many stories to tell, but alas here the boys are with the (for now) final film in the director's filmography. Six years after her last film, Meyers returned with a workplace dramedy about a retired widower that signs up to becoming a ‘senior intern' for an up and coming, online clothing company. Over the course of the film, we see generations collide and a true friendship arise, making for one of the most delightful, heartwarming entries in the series so far, and one of Meyers' best films to date. Ryan, Jay, and Ema break down their thoughts on the film, if Meyers is a fan of Workaholics, how genuine these characters are, riding a bike in the office, Robert De Niro's incredible performance, why people need to stop hating on the great Anne Hathaway, and why the world needs more Nancy Meyers movies. They boys also give their personal ranking of Meyers' filmography and announce the next director movie series they will be covering.

On episode 79 of the Director Watch Podcast, the boys are joined by Kevin Jacobsen, Entertainment Weekly Content Update Editor and host of the And the Runner Up Is podcast, to discuss the latest film in their Nancy Meyers series, It's Complicated (2009). Divorce can be really tough, but getting back with your ex while he is married to the woman he left you for…sounds complicated. This is the premise to the latest film from Nancy Meyers, about a successful bakery owner who starts an affair with her ex-husband while also becoming romantically involved with her architect that is building her the kitchen she's always wanted. If you are thinking this is the ultimate Nancy Meyers fever dream of a film, well you would be one hundred percent correct, and it's a lot of fun. Ryan, Jay, Kevin break down their thoughts on the film, just how complicated this movie is, how this narrative could connect to Meyer's own life, smoking in the guest bathroom, Streep's killer comedic performance, how Baldwin and Martin work alongside her in the film, the elegant kitchen at the center of this film and how it doesn't need to be replaced.

Star Wars Re-Watch Podcast: Skeleton Crew – Episode I"This Could Be a Real Adventure" Fans, friends, and Tia Laura, thank you for tuning in to another episode of the Star Wars Re-Watch Podcast! Yes, it still counts, even if you're on auto-play. Thanks again, Tia Laura! Sydney and I just re-watched Disney's latest Star Wars TV show, "Skeleton Crew." I have to admit—I was skeptical. The trailers didn't grab me at first glance. But wow, was I wrong! This show has far more charm than it initially lets on. As I get older, I'm finding myself more open to Disney's fresh takes on Star Wars. At first, the concept of a group of kids being shepherded across the galaxy by an adult didn't appeal to me. But Jude Law's portrayal of the lead character, paired with the kids' unique dynamics, truly works. Compared to other live-action Star Wars series, Skeleton Crew feels like a departure. Yes, the focus on kids might seem off-putting at first, but don't let it fool you. Each child has a distinct personality, and even though their archetypes are familiar, they bring something special. Neel, for example, is adorable in his red overalls, and Fern stands out as the "tough girl" while maintaining depth and complexity. Fern balances her “perfect student” persona with a rebellious streak. She's the top of her class but also races speeder bikes with the older kids. This duality gives her character a rich, relatable edge that feels fresh in the Star Wars universe. The first episode leaves you hooked, eager for what's next.

Welcome to Director Watch! On this AwardsWatch podcast, co-hosts Ryan McQuade and Jay Ledbetter attempt to breakdown, analyze, and ultimately, get inside the mind of some of cinema's greatest auteurs. In doing so, they will look at their filmographies, explore what drives them artistically and what makes their decision making process so fascinating. Add in a few silly tangents and a fun game at the end of the episode and you've got yourself a podcast we truly hope you love. On episode 78 of the Director Watch Podcast, the boys are joined by AwardsWatch contributor Karen Peterson to discuss the latest film in their Nancy Meyers series, The Holiday (2006). Tis the season at Director Watch, as the boys and Karen have come together to talk about one of the most popular modern holiday classics, The Holiday. Billed as a house swap story of two heartbroken women wanting to leave their world's behind after terrible encounters with the men in their lives, Meyers sets a more dramatic, sweet tale of finding love and confidence during the holiday season. In what feels like her version of Love Actually, Meyers is able to deliver a much more compelling, romantic film than that British film from just a few years before, lead by an all-star cast of Kate Winslet, Cameron Diaz, Jude Law, and Jack Black. Ryan, Jay, and Karen break down their thoughts on the film, what their holiday traditions are with their families, who character gets a better deal within the house swap, Jude Law's summer tan, singing in a Blockbuster video, the charming Eli Wallach, and, of course, the most important person in cinema history, Mr. Napkin Head. You can listen to the Director Watch Podcast wherever you stream podcasts, from iTunes, iHeartRadio, Soundcloud, Stitcher, Spotify, Audible, Amazon Music and more. This podcast runs 2h06m. The guys will be back next week to continue their series on the films of Nancy Meyers with a review of her film, It's Complicated.

Add in a few silly tangents and a fun game at the end of the episode and you've got yourself a podcast we truly hope you love. On episode 76 of the Director Watch Podcast, the boys are joined by AwardsWatch contributor Dan Bayer to discuss the first film in their Nancy Meyers series, What Women Want (2000). Following up her success of The Parent Trap, Nancy Meyers' second feature film follows an chauvinistic advertising executive who gains the ability to hear the inner thoughts of women, truly finding out what women want. A simple, amusing premise formed into the biggest box office hit of the director's career, with stars Mel Gibson and Helen Hunt lighting up the screen together. But over two decades later, the film, while successful, has become the most divisive film of her filmography, given her lack of involvement in the film's script, leading to some of the strangest storytelling decisions you'd see in a romantic comedy. What Women Want feels like a movie stuck between eras of time where most of the jokes don't work, characters and plot devices haven't aged well, and yet the premise is still interesting enough to keep things moving; it's a fascinating film to talk about. Ryan, Jay, and Dan break down their thoughts on the film, what still works within the film and what doesn't, the message Meyer's might be saying about her own personal life, the careers of Gibson, Hunt, and Marisa Tomei, if Nick Marshall is a redeemable character, and if hearing the thoughts of a female dog makes sense.

On episode 75 of the Director Watch Podcast, the boys are joined by Pop Culture Confidential host Christina Jeurling Birro to discuss the first film in their Nancy Meyers series, The Parent Trap (1998). After nearly two decades of writing acclaimed screenplays that earned top dollar at the box office as well as an Oscar nomination, Nancy Meyers set out in the late 1990s to make her directorial debut with a remake of the 1961 Disney family film, The Parent Trap. Centering around two identical twins who discover each other while they are at summer camp who switch places on their return home in order to get their parents back together, Meyers used this property to not only establish her special cinematic we've all come to love, but as a vessel to handle her divorce from her co-collaborator for many years, director Charles Shyer. In doing this, she made a film that is far superior than the original, while also finding a star in the making with newcomer Lindsay Lohan. Ryan, Jay, and Christina break down their thoughts on the film, the plot of the film, Lohan's incredible performance, if Dennis Quaid and Natasha Richardson play the worst parents in the history of film, best camp movies, and the Disney live action film era of the late 1990s to early 2000s.

On episode 74 of the Director Watch Podcast, the boys discuss the next film in their Krzysztof Kieślowski series, Three Colours: Red (1994). In the last entry in his acclaimed trilogy, Kieślowski turns to the color red, which focuses on the idea of fraternity. In this drama, we find two characters, a young, curious girl and a reclusive older man, become interconnected within each other's lives and form a familiar bond that transforms into a surprising friendship. As other characters come in and out of their story, the film forms into a coming of age story for the younger protagonist and a redemption story for her male counterpart, making for a beautiful, profound piece of filmmaking from the director that saw him receive critical acclaimed, leading to several Oscar nominations. Ryan and Jay break down their thoughts on the film, surveillance being a strong aspect of the story, it's connection to Blue and White, if the film's ending adds anything to the overall experience of the trilogy, Irène Jacob and Jean-Louis Trintignant performances, closing thoughts on Kieślowski, their rankings of his films, and how old some of our favorite directors are.

On episode 73 of the Director Watch Podcast, the boys discuss the next film in their Krzysztof Kieślowski series, Three Colours: White (1994). The next entry into Kieślowski trilogy might go down as one of the most surprising films the guys have covered so far, as this anti-comedy is a completed shift from the tone and ideas covered in Blue. Following a couple from two different countries playing a manipulative game of chess with one another over time, Kieślowski is able to use this duo as a personification of geo-political warfare and how smaller countries have to react and fight in order to relevant in the world. It makes for a fascinating examination of European ideals wrapped within a twist tale of love and country. Ryan and Jay break down their thoughts on the film, how the logic of it only makes sense from a non-literal perspective, shifting point of views throughout the film, the film's ending, if these two really do love each other, what they each like to put on a sandwich, and what a “dumpster Whopper” is.

Amid chaos following Hurricane Helene, hear how BIPOC journalists redefine community engagement by addressing urgent needs in western North Carolina.This show is made possible by you! To become a sustaining member go to https://LauraFlanders.org/donate Thank you for your continued support!Description:  Some residents had no food, electricity, or cell service after Hurricane Helene ravaged the western part of North Carolina in October. Amidst misinformation and no information, local media had to step in to inform desperate people fast. This month on “Meet the BIPOC Press”, we explore what media outlets did to serve their people in that moment. Laura and co-host Amir Khafagy, a journalist with the New York City-based publication Documented, speak with two local BIPOC media projects that saved lives and expanded their relationship with their communities. Our guests are Brooklyn Brown, Reporter for Cherokee One Feather, the local newspaper of the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians; and Magaly Urdiales, co-founder of JMPRO Community Media (“Justice Media Project”), a grassroots nonprofit that shares essential news and information with immigrant communities in Spanish, English and Mayan Indigenous languages. As they found themselves at the frontlines of relief efforts, how did these local outlets redefine journalism?“. . . Objectivity doesn't have to be cold. Reporting the facts doesn't have to be without passion. That's something I see a lot in community journalism, is that we are able to practice good journalism while also having a heart for the community that we're covering.” - Brooklyn Brown“I think many barriers and many problems of the corporate media came in place. We were called for people that were looking for a story, that were looking for somebody that was crying because their loved one wasn't found yet. And for us it was frustrated . . . in a moment like this, that can be transactional.” - Magaly UrdialesGuests:• Brooklyn Brown (Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians): Reporter, Cherokee One Feather• Magaly Urdiales: Co-founder, JMPRO Community Media• Amir Khafagy (Co-host): Journalist, Report for America Member, DocumentedWatch the broadcast episode cut for time at our YouTube channel and airing on PBS stations across the country Subscribe to episode notes via PatreonMusic In the Middle:  Novalima remix of “La Voz” by Eljuri, courtesy of the artist.  And additional music included- "Steppin"  by Podington Bear. Related Laura Flanders Show Episodes:• Where Do We Go From Here?

On episode 72 of the Director Watch Podcast, the boys discuss the next film in their Krzysztof Kieślowski series, Three Colours: Blue (1993). Moving right along into the trilogy that made Kieślowski a legend in the cinematic community, the director set out to make a trio of films based around the colors found in the French flag, the country to which he could get funding for the film. With Blue, we enter his first phase, liberty, and in the case of the film, a complex look into a woman recovery as she tries to go on living her life after a tragic car accident kills her husband and daughter. In turning cold on the world and everyone around her, Julie (Juliette Binoche in a masterful performance) slowly opens back up, and it is within the final act of the film we see her recover beyond her understandable, heartbreaking grief. It makes for a wonderful start to this important trilogy. Ryan and Jay break down their thoughts on the film, the idea of grief and how everyone handles it differently, the use of the color blue throughout the film, the balance of the loss of Julie's husband and daughter, the guy's thoughts on Binoche's career and what type of reality, trash television shows people are watching today.
