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.

Whether you were fighting over toilet paper, packing up to stay with family, or you simply glued to the news, watching it all unfold, you remember what you were doing when Covid-19 shut down normal life. And wherever Steven Soderbergh was, he had to be thinking, “I told you so.”

Francis Ford Coppola spent $90 million of his own money to finally make the film he's been talking about for over four decades. It's the cinephile event of the season, it's a spectacle, it's Coppola's humanist manifesto on art and politics, and it's...well...you'll just have to tune in to find out what we made of it.

Based on a true story about a whistleblower whose relationship with the truth is, let’s say, complicated, Soderbergh’s “The Informant!” (2009) is both one of Matt Damon’s greatest performances AND manages to find the humor in lysine price-fixing.

Soderbergh’s second low-budget, shot-on-video movie for Mark Cuban’s Magnolia Pictures (following 2005's Bubble) is about a high-priced escort and stars 21-year-old adult film star Sasha Grey. It may seem like Soderbergh's having a mid-life crisis but, really, he's just finding ways to take new creative swings. The question is: Does this swing connect?

In the interest of connecting with even more Soderbergh fans, we reached out to some of our friends in the arts and asked them to share their enthusiasm for THEIR favorite Soderbergh films. The response blew us away. We’ve got John Green and Gillian Flynn in this episode, people!

When we started this podcast, it never even occurred to us that it might be hard to track down some of Steven Soderbergh’s earlier (and even recent) efforts. Here’s a primer on where and how to find them.
Also, please note: There is a video component to this episode, which can be viewed exclusively on our YouTube page (linked below)!

We usually think of Steven Soderbergh as a prolific and tireless craftsman, but in his 2008 films “The Argentine” and “The Guerilla,” originally released as “Che,” the director let his artistic self take the wheel—with glorious results.
