Director's Club as you know it is back, kind of. As
indicated in the recently posted Pop Culture Club debut, I
mentioned that every now and again, directors will still be focused
on from time to time. I decided to put a couple of sequel
episodes on the schedule for the summer to make it easier on
myself, and to follow through on a couple of promises I made.
Friend to the show Bill Ackerman and I are both huge fans of David
Cronenberg, and as much as I enjoyed our first episode on DC, I
knew a sequel / reboot was due so we could discuss some more of his
recent films and a couple others we skipped over the first
time. It's more of a general discussion but there is
definitely a heated debate surrounding CRASH and a newfound respect
for both SPIDER and A DANGEROUS METHOD. Also, Bill talks
about DER SAMURAI while I review Rodney Ascher's documentary THE
NIGHTMARE.

Thanks everyone so much for listening! The next episode will
be another bonus episode recorded with Patrick, whom I love.
Him and I will be revisiting Paul Thomas Anderson's THE MASTER to
see if we warm up to it more, as well as talk about the genius of
John Patrick Shanley's JOE VS. THE VOLCANO. There's plenty of
good stuff to come, so stay subscribed. And as always, do
