Here's a short teaser of our Patreon-exclusive podcast series where we will be examining the cinema of Steven Soderbergh. On our main show we are going through his more underrated works, while on our Patreon we are talking about Soderbergh's most prominent movies. This month, we are taking on the epic saga of Che that once again brought together Steven Soderbergh and Benicio del Toro. As we discuss this beast of a movie, conveniently divided into two parts, we talk about its doomed theatrical release, the intricacies of its production, Soderbergh's idea of a big prestige spectacle, reinventing the biopic and wondering how exactly this movie connects to the larger body of cinema.

Episode 123 - The Good German

1 Recommendations

In this episode of the show, we are marking the impending 30th anniversary of the release of Jurassic Park by talking about a movie that kinda ripped it off... a month ahead of its release, no less - Carnosaur. Over the course of our conversation you will hear us talk about why this movie even exists, the business savvy of one Roger Corman, the career choices of one Diane Ladd, doing practical effects on the cheap, our nostalgic connection to video store schlock and of course, how Carnosaur connects to Spielberg's juggernaut!
