Welcome to the Filmographers Podcast, where we study a director’s entire career, one film at a time. In each episode, we discuss why a single film succeeded or failed and examine it in the context of the Hollywood landscape when it was released. We’re the academic, but fun, movie podcast! In our first season, we’re turning the spotlight on Steven Soderbergh, one of the most celebrated, fascinating, and versatile directors in modern American cinema.

It's safe to say Mike and Keir have become obsessed with The Good German. Yes, it flopped. Yes, Soderbergh says it's his most reviled film. But we love this movie--so much so that we recorded a commentary track for it. We're giving you a free preview here; for the entire commentary visit our Patreon.
Pick up the newly released 4K, download our full commentary, and your evening is booked.

Based on a short film made nearly two decades ago, The Ballad of Wallis Island is, in many ways, a throwback to the type of movie still being made at that time: intimate, quirky, and big on character. But did this movie about a folk singer needing to connect with an audience of one pull on our heartstrings in the right ways? Listen to find out!

After over a year of studying Steven Soderbergh, our inaugural season is coming to an end. But it wouldn’t be Hollywood, or movies, if we didn’t pair our year-in-review with an awards show. The Filmographers Podcast presents the first, and surely only, Soderbergh Awards! (Or as Keir calls them, The Sodies.)
