As of mid-January 2017, I will no longer be the host of
Director's Club on a full-time basis. Episode 121 (The Best of
2016) will be my last official episode as the predominant voice you
hear on the show. While some of you may frown at that change, I
encourage you to listen to my reasons during the introduction as
well as learn who the new host will be and why I decided to move
forward. Reminder: I am not disappearing completely. After a
lengthy monologue about the changes to come including the
ridiculous election results, I happily have a conversation with one
of my favorite guests and friends, Supporting Characters' very own
Bill Ackerman.
Not only will Bill be my guest for Episode 121, he joins me today
to discuss the life and films of a fascinating figure by the name
of Peter Bogdanovich. We talk about his most renowned work such as
THE LAST PICTURE SHOW & PAPER MOON, but we also touch upon
overlooked gems like TARGETS, THEY ALL LAUGHED & SAINT JACK.
There's a review for all of his films overall. Please listen to the
entire episode this time around, it would be greatly appreciated.
And I can't thank Bill enough once again for another wonderful
conversation and education about one of cinema's greats! For
some reason, we forgot to give our top three lists!

many 2016 releases as I can before my final official episode in
early January. Please stay subscribed, and more news to come!
