A Podcast Directed By – Details, episodes & analysis

We are finally coming back (again) to talk Sofia Coppola. She has actually created two (!) more films since we last talked.

First, ON THE ROCKS, which features more of Bill Murray running from the police than we like. But, like, it also has Rashida Jones. So, basically all is forgiven. Except if you even think of cheating on Rashida, then you're dead to us.

And then, we get to the critical darling PRISCILLA. How long can we hang out in a house and be sad? Too long maybe.

But hey, we still think Sofia should be given almost a blank check for whatever she wants to do.

Enjoy!

Remember how we said goodbye? Welllllll, not so fast. Just a few short years later, we have returned to work, just like David Fincher. To celebrate the non theatrical release of this film, your favorite duo has returned to talk about it!

Let's talk obsession, contract killers, and sexy Tilda Swinton!

Well, we have reached the end of Aronofsky's movies. Luckily for you, our expert, Richard L. Newby has returned to educate us one last time. Along with a terrific conversation, Richard will tell us the best, his favorite, and Aronofsky's masterpiece. Will he stick with BLACK SWAN? Or maybe finally give Mickey Rourke a long deserved ovation for the WRESTLER. Hell, maybe he will surprise us all by giving some shine to PI or NOAH! There is only one way to find out. Listen now!

We have finally reached the end of Mike’s almost biblical, self-flagellatory quest through the films of Darren Aronofsky. Sadly for him (and happily for the rest of us), it ends sourly for our intrepid co-host. He has been on the record as not enjoying MOTHER! (Exclamation point included) and this is where the end leaves us. Will Mike have a turn like Dave did on THE FOUNTAIN! Probably not, but you’ll never know unless you listen! Join us as we talk creators (of all kinds), poor Jennifer Lawrence, and the glory (as always) of Michelle Pfeiffer.

We are back to finally have some fun with Aronofsky. Well, Dave has had fun, but Mike gets to relive the glory of a movie that holds the distinction of Mike’s very first podcast appearance, NOAH. We talk the joys of getting drunk on a beach, the terrible acting of “Harry Potter Woman”, and how Aronofsky lets actors loose to just play. Join us as we talk about the surprise hit of an auteur’s career, regardless of film twitters ridiculous response to an action movie about great floods, monsters of rock, and the perils of not having sex. If you know either of us, you probably know that this is just our type of movie!

In this episode, Mike and Dave finally take on the Oscar winning film in Aronofsky's filmography, BLACK SWAN.

Join us as we talk Mike's continued obsession with lesbian film, word of mouth success, and trying not to solely focus on Mila Kunis.

Well, the boys are back to talk more Darren Aronofsky. This time we wax poetic about such topics as Oscar heartbreak and Twitter interventions. I swear this has something to do with the movie we are covering, THE WRESTLER. We also discuss taking 180s on Marvel movies and what is truly the definitive Mickey Rourke performance. Join us as we weirdly laugh a lot talking about this dour movie.

Our podcast on Darren Aronofsky continues. This week, we talk about a movie that somehow we forgot, THE FOUNTAIN. Our two cohosts disagree on the quality of the movie, but definitely agree on both Hugh Jackman and Brad Pitt. If you listen, this strange sentence will be explained. We also discussed whether this is the director's best looking movie, if it needs improvement, and which of us is the true romantic. Listen in as we talk about the fountain of youth and the merits of Aronofsky going big and bold!

Look at us, actually on schedule! We are back to talk about another disturbing work from Aronofsky. This time we look at DARE's wet dream, REQUIEM FOR A DREAM. Everyone says not to watch it more than once, but we're going in. Can we handle a movie with the worst Joker and the Scary Movie guy? Just kidding, we mainly talk about Ellen Burstyn.

Ok, here we go with a new director for Mike and Dave. I think we picked a challenging one this time around, with Darren Aronofsky! We begin with his first film, PI! Will this be too esoteric? Or maybe it's a hidden gem once you get past all the math and hideous hairlines. Join us to find out!
