Each week, hosts Darren Moser, John Mills, and Tristan Riddell share what they see as a movie director’s signature approach and how it shaped the movies you love. Join them as they unpack the works of some of the most prominent directors - and the lost works of the most masterful auteurs.

Weekly episodes comprise series featuring works of different directors approached in unexpected ways. For example:
  • The entire filmography of a celebrated director like David Fincher or Christopher Nolan;
  • The films of a director during a particular decade, like Francis Ford Coppola in the 1990s;
  • A single film from each decade of the impactful director Spike Lee to see how his style evolved;
  • The approach of different directors to a single franchise character or series, such as Hannibal Lecter or James Bond, and
  • They’re always open to suggestions from listeners at https://thenerdparty.com/contact
In each case, your hosts bring unique takes to the discussion, fostering an informative conversation that’s equally insightful and entertaining...from an objectively critical but objectively fair angle.

House of Stone - 194 - Nixon

jeudi 29 août 2024Durée 51:56

"Nixon" is a film that, much like its subject, is complex, ambitious, and polarizing. Oliver Stone’s direction and Anthony Hopkins’ performance elevate the film, making it a compelling watch for those interested in American politics and history. However, its sprawling narrative and occasional lapses into historical embellishment may not sit well with all viewers. Ultimately, "Nixon" is a mixed bag—a film that offers a deep, if sometimes uneven, exploration of one of America’s most enigmatic presidents. Whether it succeeds or falters depends largely on the viewer’s tolerance for Stone’s unique brand of filmmaking.

House of Stone - 193 - JFK

mercredi 21 août 2024Durée 56:25

JFK is as fascinating as it is a flawed film. It raises important questions and challenges viewers to think critically about the official narratives they have been told. However, its tendency to prioritize dramatic effect over factual accuracy can be troubling, making it a polarizing experience. JFK is a riveting watch for those who can appreciate its artistic and narrative ambitions, but it’s not a film to be taken at face value.

House of Lee - 184 - Da Five Bloods

jeudi 13 juin 2024Durée 59:55

​“Da 5 Bloods” is a film with noble intentions and some truly powerful moments, but it doesn’t always hit the mark. It’s a mixed bag that will resonate with viewers who appreciate its historical context and social commentary, but may leave others feeling unsatisfied with its uneven pacing and narrative complexity. It’s a Spike Lee joint that sparks conversation, but it might not stand out as one of his most memorable works.

House of Demme - 95 - Philadelphia

vendredi 12 août 2022Durée 59:10

1993’s Philadelphia was intended to make audiences examine their assumptions and perspectives about the homosexual community and the AIDS crisis. It opened to general accolades, won numerous awards, and changed Tom Hanks’ career trajectory. But is there merit to the criticisms that lauded its goals but found it heavy-handed and slow?

Wing of Hannibal - 94 - Manhunter

jeudi 4 août 2022Durée 01:10:02

Michael Mann’s adaptation of Thomas Harris’ Red Dragon, Manhunter, was a box office bomb. Regardless, it’s gone on to hold a place of special reverence and influence for film fans and filmmakers alike. What is it that has made Manhunter such an enduring cult hit after so many years?

Wing of Hannibal - 93 - Red Dragon

vendredi 29 juillet 2022Durée 59:30

Critical and audience reception aside, 2001’s “Hannibal” was a massive success. Producers took the hint and went back to the original book to create a prequel so Hopkins could play Lecter one more time alongside Ralph Fiennes and Ed Norton. Is this prequel a worthy addition to the Lecter oeuvre or a slavishly uninspired adaptation?

Wing of Hannibal - 92 - Hannibal

jeudi 21 juillet 2022Durée 59:48

Eager to capitalize on the enduring legacy of Silence of the Lambs, filmmakers tapped Ridley Scott to helm a sequel ten years after Anthony Hopkins captured the filmgoing imagination as Hannibal Lecter. After 15 drafts and Jodi Foster bowing out, did we get a misfire or a new masterpiece?

House of Demme - 91 - The Silence of the Lambs

jeudi 14 juillet 2022Durée 01:09:22

Released in 1991 and turning Sir Anthony Hopkins into a household name, The Silence of the Lambs remains a cultural landmark of filmmaking with an influence that’s lasted decades. Houselights starts its 1990s Demme retrospective with the essential question: Does it still resonate, or is it a great work “for its time”?

House of Scott - 90 - 1492: Conquest of Paradise

jeudi 7 juillet 2022Durée 59:35

​500 years after Christopher Columbus helmed a famous voyage to the "New World," studios saw the potential for boffo box office by releasing movies to re-memorialize the anniversary. One of two competing films to flop spectacularly, does 1492 sail away with our respect as a work, or does it sink under the weight of its own pretensions?

House of Scott - 89 - The Last Duel

jeudi 30 juin 2022Durée 01:00:44

2021’s The Last Duel was Ridley Scott’s star-studded foray back into historical epics and it was greeted with general acclaim by critics. But theatrical releases still finding their way out of lockdowns and mixed-up marketing hurt its chances to find an audience. Houselights examines this Medieval tale to see if a new release is in order, or if some battles are best left to the past.
