Direct

directpodcast@gmail.com

Direct is your officially unofficial podcast that takes a direct trajectory through a director’s filmography. Hosted by movie geeks Eric and Levi, the show will walk through every movie that a director has made in chronological order. Each week a new film will be discussed, contemplated, and dissected. Get your popcorn ready!

Direct - Wes Anderson – Epilogue

It’s the end of our Anderson run, and it was a twee affair. What is twee? Listen and find out!

Direct - Wes Anderson – The Grand Budapest Hotel

Is he flirting with you?

Direct - Wes Anderson – Moonrise Kingdom

We can’t offer you a legally binding podcast. It won’t hold up in the state, the county, or frankly, any courtroom in the world, due to age, lack of a license, and failure to get parental consent. But this ritual does carry a very important moral weight within yourselves. You can’t enter into the contract lightly. Look into our eyes. Do you love Direct?

Direct - Wes Anderson – Fantastic Mr. Fox

Go wild.

Direct - Wes Anderson – The Darjeeling Limited

We love you, but we will mace you in the face.

Direct - Wes Anderson – The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou

Somebody please make a Steve Zissou tabletop RPG. Thanks.

Direct - Wes Anderson – Royal Tenenbaums

Sic transit gloria, listen as we take a deep dive into the dysfunctional Tenenbaum family. Did we mention we are adopted?

Direct - Wes Anderson – Rushmore

Rushmore is Oedipus. THINK ABOUT IT!

Direct - Wes Anderson – Bottle Rocket

Bottle Rocket is Wes Anderson’s first movie. It marks the debut of Owen Wilson and Luke Wilson, and establishes the Anderson canon. One of us really liked the movie and the other one hated it. Can two polorized podcast hosts find common ground? Stay tuned.

Direct - Wes Anderson – Prologue

Wes Anderson is the next director we’ll be covering on Direct. Known for his highly-stylized fables about immaturity, family, obscurity, and hope, Anderson has created a name for himself as a stand-out filmmaker. He’s also been nominated for 6 Academy Awards, but has yet to win one.
