Bonus Episode: Joel Potrykus (Vulcanizadora)
Hello everyone! I am no longer putting out episodes via Libsyn, they are now hosted right here at my Substack. Formerly known as the 5 Years Substack, this is now the hub for all-things Director’s Club including a new URL. Learn about all this and more during my 8-minute preamble before we get to the subject at hand - indeed a very special one since today’s guest is responsible for my favorite film of 2024 (soon to be released next year so stay tuned).
I was lucky enough to spend a half hour talking with director Joel Potrykus (www.imdb.com/name/nm1811127/) , responsible for films that both Patrick and I have loved in the past particularly Buzzard and Relaxer which contain the same lead actor Joshua Burge. Burge and Potrykus are co-leads in his latest film, Vulcanizadora and we talk all about the experience of putting it all together and much more. We avoid spoilers so I encourage you to listen to this interview and seek out his work ASAP. Thank you to all for listening, the continued support and looking forward to sharing all content here from this point onward.

Have you been waiting for the Mann? Well it's been over a decade since we last discussed his work back when Patrick and I mainly covered our love for both Heat & The Insider. Cut to present time, I have recruited two of my favorite returning guests to touch upon nearly every title by Michael Mann focusing on his post-Collateral output since it wasn't covered last time. Grateful to both Ryan Ver...

The spooky season is here! Why not indulge in the twisted fantasy worlds of one renowned, revered Mexican filmmaker by the name of Guillermo Del Toro! Of course I needed to enlist a super fan of his and I was lucky enough to have returning guest Chloe Waryan back on the show for another truly delightful discussion.

In high school, I think I may have been a little too obsessed with Sam Raimi's Evil Dead 2 to where I did camera shots like these?

    I remember seeing this in theaters with my friend and his dad back in the 80s. My friend kept telling me to tell my 7 year old sis that...well, you know. of course NO!!! lol Fun Fact: The passenger in the car in the 2nd scene is Jerzy Skolimowski, he was the Russian fellow that was interrogating Black Widow in the Avengers. The more you know!!!

    It’s kinda wild that you can’t find much evidence of Wabash as a band online anymore.. griffin was doing something really special at this time, I hope they’re doing well.

    The opening scene of the camera closing in and breaking the window and then slowly withdrawing set the tone for this movie.

    Good review, my first idea was that Ned was staying at someone's house nearby before the first moments, Ned is not dead, not saved. He's still weeping tears mixing in cold rain outside of a door that will never open. He's there now. Forever. ❤

    i feel the eternals costumes hark back to ancient Egypt and the eternals view of themselves as gods. they do tell you why Friend gets aged, refusing to join the group mind in 2nd level meditation gets him declared Renegade, i think he did it knowing the penalty because if he had the entire plan about Zed would come out

  • @somthingbrutal
    @somthingbrutal ปีที่แล้ว

    one of the things about zardoz is you can read it many ways, from a critique of the british class structure, looking at the end of empire i have also seen both pro and anti feminist readings of it more recently i have seen the Eternals compared to elon musk and the like
