PODCAST

Director Showdown

Director Showdown is an idea that came about after months of intense arguments between Brent Carroll and Adam Daufen about which famous director was better: Spielberg or Kubrick? From those arguments, season one was created. Each new season pits two new directors against each other, and every other week Adam and Brent get together to make their case - sometimes with help from guests.

S03 Episode 4: I Am David

Director Showdown ·

2018/01/08

This week on Director Showdown, the boys talk Paul Feig’s directorial debut ‘I Am David’, a shockingly mediocre debut effort, and probably the reason he hasn’t done another drama film since. The fellas talk about the extended fetch-quest sequence in the movie, Paul Feig’s masturbatory cameo, and why semi-competently made mediocre films just might be worse than outright-terrible movies. Adam also goes on a scary, dictatorial-esque rant at the end and kinda scares the hell out of Brent. Hope
