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.

Steven Soderbergh’s last outing was a black-and-white drama about Nazi war crimes that left audiences depressed. In 2007, it’s time to repay Warner Bros’ faith—and dollars—with his second-ever sequel: “Ocean’s Thirteen.”

In 2006, Steven Soderbergh released “The Good German,” a black-and-white film set in postwar Berlin, that was in dialog with one of the greatest films ever made: “Casablanca.” Is it an homage, a deconstruction—or something else entirely?

It’s 2006, and Steven Soderbergh is following up his first-ever sequel, the star-studded Ocean’s Twelve, with his most daring independent film yet: Bubble, a small-town crime drama cast with nonprofessional actors who improvise most of their dialogue.

Since making his debut in 1989, Steven Soderbergh has made art-house films, grown-up dramas, crime flicks, a science fiction tale, and even mainstream, Oscar-winning hits. The only thing he hasn’t done is make a sequel—until now, with “Ocean’s Twelve” (2004).

In only his first dozen films, Steven Soderbergh has created one of Hollywood’s most eclectic filmographies. But he still hasn’t made a sci-fi flick—until now. Join us as we discuss his 2002 remake of Andrei Tarkovsky’s 1972 Soviet SF classic, “Solaris.”

We all love a good "what might have been" story. Every major director has a filing cabinet stuffed with projects that slipped through their fingers, and Steven Soderbergh is no different.
From beefing with Robert Redford to a legal sparring match with Scott Rudin to nearly making a historical musical, Soderbergh has a rich history of near misses, and we've got the highlights. Join us as we take a break from our regular programming to discuss the Soderberghs that might have been...
(And please forgive our audio for being a little off this week--we encountered some technical difficulties during recording.)

Just Mike and Keir, a couple of bros, discussing Steven Soderbergh’s bro-fest, “Ocean’s Eleven.” The star-studded caper just happens to be his eleventh movie, too—what a Soderbergh move to make the stars align like that! It makes us both want to gaze dreamily at the Bellagio fountain…
