| 17 Dec 2024 | Let Them All Talk + Top 5 Movies About Writers | 01:27:16 | |
With “Let Them All Talk” (2020), has Steven Soderbergh finally made a chick flick? A mom movie? Whatever you want to call it, our two dads—Mike and Keir—really, really liked it. (Even though it has Meryl Streep in it.) Also, stick around as these two writers list their favorite movies...about writers.

| 04 Mar 2025 | Presence | 01:12:59 | |
Steven Soderbergh’s ghost story, “Presence” (2025), is a groundbreaking experiment in first-person POV filmmaking. Mike and Keir dive deep into how it was made, whether it succeeds, and what the ending is supposed to mean.

| 04 Nov 2024 | Winter Movie Preview + Behind the Candelabra | 01:47:58 | |
Winter is coming, and there's an exciting slate of movies coming our way. From big budget spectacles to Oscar bait dramas to fun family flicks, winter has it all, and we're giving our rundown--cage match style--of them all. Not only that, but--Steven Soderbergh has been talking about retirement for YEARS. And now, in 2013, the time has come. Is the film he goes out on his “Citizen Kane,” his “Heaven’s Gate,” his “Megalopolis”? It’s a movie about Liberace and his lover, Scott Thorson—you be the judge!

| 19 Nov 2024 | Unsane | 00:53:28 | |
With his previous movie, “Logan Lucky,” Soderbergh showed his middle finger to the studio system and released his movie his way. Now, with “Unsane” (2018), he abandons yet another filmmaking convention—the camera.

| 02 Apr 2024 | King of the Hill | 01:10:26 | |
Soderbergh’s sophomore effort was a critical and commercial dud that made the producers’ money disappear as if by magic. Will the 30-year-old director bounce back with 1993’s “King of the Hill”? Well . . . it’s complicated.

| 11 Dec 2024 | The Laundromat | 01:25:58 | |
“The Laundromat” (2019) is the second movie Steven Soderbergh made for Netflix in the same year—but this one had a theatrical release. Is Soderbergh going Netflix, or is Netflix going Soderbergh?

| 04 Jun 2024 | Movies Soderbergh DIDN'T Make | 01:04:05 | |
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...

| 28 Jan 2025 | Kimi + Top 5 Hitchcockian Movies | 01:04:19 | |
Steven Soderbergh’s “Kimi” (2022) is a timely movie about invasive technology and Covid-19—and a Hitchcockian throwback to the era of paranoid thrillers. Speaking of Hitch, his work inspired *many* movies. So many there's a name for it. We list our top five favorites.

| 15 Oct 2024 | Haywire | 00:58:08 | |
Steven Soderbergh is at it again--again pushing his creative boundaries, again collaborating with exciting, non-professional actors. This time, he's trying his hand at the action/spy genre and enlisting MMA superstar Gina Carano. Does the pairing bear fruit, or does the Soderbergh/Carano team-up go...haywire?

| 18 Mar 2024 | Sex, Lies, & Videotape | 00:57:32 | |
Steven Soderbergh wrote 1989's “Sex, Lies, and Videotape” in eight days and shot it in one month for $1.2 million dollars—and took Cannes by storm. It was both the beginning of a brilliant career and the dawn of a new era for independent film.

| 23 Jul 2024 | Ocean's Thirteen | 01:12:22 | |
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.” Social media Instagram @thefilmographers Twitter/X @filmographerpod Letterboxd @filmographers YouTube @TheFilmographersPodcast Website: https://filmographerspodcast.com/ Patreon: Patreon.com/TheFilmographersPodcast Credits Keir Graff & Michael Moreci, hosts Kevin Lau, producer Gompson, theme music Cosmo Graff, graphic design | |||
| 15 Apr 2025 | The Good German Commentary Track | 00:12:38 | |
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.

| 22 Nov 2024 | The Filmographers Go To The Movies: Gladiator II | 00:39:56 | |
“Gladiator II” is officially in theaters, and the Filmographers have taken their seats in the coliseum to cast judgment. Is Paul Mescal ready to fill the size-twelve sandals of Russell Crowe? Are Denzel Washington’s Training Day techniques suitable for Roman fighters? Is Sir Ridley Scott already planning Gladiator XX? Keir and Mike stand ready to give thumbs up or thumbs down.

| 21 Feb 2025 | The Filmographers Go To The Movies: The Monkey | 00:47:16 | |
Combine the king of horror fiction (Stephen King), a master of horror movies (James Wan), and a red-hot horror director coming off one of 2024's biggest hits (LONGLEGS, Osgood Perkins), and you get THE MONKEY, a movie about an evil monkey that loves to kill. It's funny, it's gory, it's all about death, but do all these pieces work together?* Social media Instagram @thefilmographers Bluesky: @thefilmographers.bsky.social Letterboxd @filmographers YouTube @TheFilmographersPodcast Website: https://filmographerspodcast.com/ Credits Keir Graff & Michael Moreci, hosts Kevin Lau, producer Gompson, theme music Cosmo Graff, graphic design (*For those only listening, at the 16:48 mark, Mike puts on a Creature mask, something you can't see in audio!) | |||

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.

The Oscar nominations were announced over two weeks ago, and the Filmographers are still stewing over one major snub: the complete shut-out of “Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga.” After all, “Fury Road” got ten nominations and won six!

Steven Soderbergh is on an artistic and critical winning streak, and now, as the new millennium begins, he’s about to finally find box-office success again . . . and maybe win an Oscar, too. (If only he can beat that pesky Steven Soderbergh for Best Director.)

| 16 Jul 2024 | The Good German | 01:10:09 | |
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?

| 17 Sep 2024 | The Girlfriend Experience | 01:01:40 | |
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?

| 23 Apr 2024 | Gray's Anatomy | 00:47:04 | |
In 1997, Steven Soderbergh released not one but TWO films that failed to find an audience. The first was Schizopolis, which we covered in last week's episode. Gray’s Anatomy, a kind of concert film for monologuist Spalding Gray, was the second. Despite their lack of commercial success, both movies were extremely important to the filmmaker’s growth. But, alas, only one showcases Spalding Gray zestfully saying "macular pucker" more times than anyone probably needs to hear.

| 09 Apr 2024 | The Underneath | 01:06:15 | |

Over his first three movies, director Robert Eggers has proven to be one of the most distinct, unique voices in modern cinema. Now, with "Nosferatu," he's tackling his most ambitious project yet--a remake of a beloved 1922 silent film classic, a movie that some argue created the template for all of horror cinema.

| 19 Oct 2024 | The Filmographers Go To The Movies: Smile 2 | 00:33:25 | |
Smile! A new episode of The Filmographers Go To The Movies is here! Or wait...maybe you shouldn't smile, because in Parker Finn's universe, bad things happen when you see someone who does. Very bad. After the first Smile became one of the earliest post-Covid box office hits, Finn is back with a highly anticipated sequel, and just in time for the Halloween season. Did it bring a you-know-what to Michael's and Keir's faces? Let's just say they may already be speculating where the Smile universe can go from here...

| 22 Oct 2024 | Magic Mike | 01:32:58 | |
Jean-Luc Godard had Anna Karina. Alfred Hitchcock had Tippi Hedren. Steven Soderbergh had George Clooney and Matt Damon...and now he’s got Channing Tatum, too!

| 07 May 2024 | The Limey | 00:58:11 | |
In 1999, as many of his peers take Hollywood by storm, Steven Soderbergh returns to his low-budget indie roots with “The Limey.” Will he maintain his career momentum or succumb to the malaise that defined most of his 1990s efforts? The answer is . . . complicated. Follow the Filmographers Podcast on your favorite platform and don’t forget to give us ALL the stars!

After covering Steven Soderbergh, film by film, for nearly a year, Mike and Keir finally get to see a new release on the big screen! PRESENCE, a ghost story filmed from the supernatural visitor’s POV, is a risky choice. It’s also a lot more than just a ghost story. Does the always unpredictable director pull it off? Check out our spoiler-free conversation to find out!

| 01 Apr 2025 | The Soderbergh Awards | 01:05:01 | |
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.)

In a Filmographers First, we interview Chris Sullivan, who was unforgettable as Tom Cleary in Steven Soderbergh’s “The Knick” and stars as Chris Payne in Soderbergh's forthcoming movie “Presence.” (You may also know him as Toby Damon on “This Is Us” and . . . Taserface in “Guardians of the Galaxy, Vol. 2”!)

| 21 May 2024 | Traffic | 01:27:30 | |
Stephen Soderbergh is having the best year of his career. “Erin Brockovich,” released in March, has been raking in the cash and is predicted to do well in awards season. But he’s about to upstage himself with ANOTHER film at the end of December: the sprawling war-on-drugs drama “Traffic.”

| 03 Dec 2024 | High Flying Bird | 00:56:56 | |
Steven Soderbergh shot his last movie on an iPhone 7, and he liked the experience so much that he did it again, but with one key difference—he shot “High Flying Bird” (2019) with an iPhone 8.

| 01 Oct 2024 | Contagion | 01:09:01 | |
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.” Social media Instagram @thefilmographers Twitter/X @filmographerpod Letterboxd @filmographers YouTube @TheFilmographersPodcast Website: https://filmographerspodcast.com/ Credits Keir Graff & Michael Moreci, hosts Kevin Lau, producer Gompson, theme music Cosmo Graff, graphic design | |||
| 26 Mar 2024 | Kafka | 00:55:27 | |
Steven Soderbergh decides to follow his smash-hit debut with a black-and-white movie, set in Prague, about the author who puts the A's in alienation, anxiety, and absurdity. We’ve all heard of sophomore slumps, but “Kafka” (1991) is really something.

| 09 Jul 2024 | Bubble | 01:05:39 | |
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.
