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.

Transformers

Episode 120

Monday, November 22, 2021 • Duration 02:02:29

Adam and Brent get into 'Transformers' with Delfinpod head honcho Emmanuel! They talk about what makes the action in this Michael Bay movie different from his others, other iconic franchises from the early-to-mid 2000's, and ponder why the leads of the movie had sex on top of their sentient car! It's a loose, fun one to welcome listeners back after our brief break, and only two episodes are left this season so we hope you enjoy!

Sucker Punch

Episode 119

Monday, October 4, 2021 • Duration 01:31:33

Adam and Brent get into Zack Snyder's audacious yet messy 2011 action film 'Sucker Punch'! They break down what works about it and what doesn't, where the disconnect might be for fully hitting on all cylinders, and what it means to make 'commentary about geek culture' and the inherent irony in doing so! They also praise Oscar Isaac for bringing a ton of integrity to a role that doesn't really call for it. It's a great breakdown of a real mixed bag of a movie and the guys had a good time getting into it!

They get into each of the 8 vignettes, talk what works best and what doesn't, and the darkness behind Kurosawa's late-in-life world view. Beyond that, they also rank their movies discussed this season and what they took away from these 2 directors filmographies!

S02 Episode 8: The Neon Demon

Episode 20

Tuesday, September 26, 2017 • Duration 01:25:51

Join Adam and Brent on the final episode of Season 2, as they continue to be on the run from Dennis, going bunker to attic to bunker, trying to find a place to record. Everything comes to a head on this episode, but before that, they are joined in another undisclosed location by their friend John Casares and Brent’s wife Amy. They talk the final Refn film of the season, ‘The Neon Demon’ and get into the many possibly metaphors in the movie, as well as talk at length about how different people view and interpret film. It’s a bit of a deeper dive into movies in general than the fellas usually go, but it makes for a great final episode of the season, so enjoy and tell your friends about the podcast!

S02 Episode 7: Dazed and Confused

Episode 19

Monday, September 11, 2017 • Duration 01:28:01

Episode 7 of Season 2

On the penultimate episode of Director Showdown, Brent and Adam are joined by their penultimate Stickerfridge friend David, for a deep dive into the 1993 film ‘Dazed and Confused’. The guys are doing their best to avoid Dennis at all costs, and have found a bunker to watch the film and record in. David brings a ton of fascinating trivia to the table this episode, as the guys talk about the origins of McConaughey, Adam Goldberg (the Hebrew Hammer) and plenty more. There are a few technical hiccups this episode, which I hope you guys can look past. Next week is sure to be a straight-up, by the books entry of Director Showdown, but we hope you enjoyed the episode. Show your friends and family, and thank you for listening!

S02 Episode 6: Only God Forgives

Episode 18

Monday, September 4, 2017 • Duration 01:18:40

This week, Adam and Brent are joined by a Stickerfridge favorite, Zach! They talk the most divisive Refn film yet, ‘Only God Forgives’ and the hidden layers behind the film, some wild trivia, and their personal origins with the movie. Yet again, the boys are joined by this seasons recurring character, Dennis, who will apparently plague us indefinitely. Again, we apologize profusely, as we want this to stop as much as you do, but please be patient as we look into different methods to deal with the issue. Aside from that, it’s a great episode, so tell your buddies and enjoy!

S02 Episode 5: School of Rock

Episode 17

Monday, August 28, 2017 • Duration 01:13:54

This week on Director Showdown, it’s School of Rock! Adam and Brent are joined by Stickerfridge ‘Fam Films’ favorite, Brian Menard! Brian tells the guys which director he prefers, they talk about their personal history with the movie, and how different (and mainstream) it is from Linklater’s other films. We had a few technical difficulties this week, hence Brent and Brian sharing a mic, and a (hopefully not too annoying) buzz during the podcast. Regardless, it’s a great, wacky episode and we hope you enjoy it!

P.S. We want to sincerely apologize for Dennis’s continued harassment and annoyances on this new season. We’re doing everything in our power to rid ourselves, and our audience, of this menace. Thank you for understanding.

This week, Brent and Adam talk about Linklater’s experimental 2006 film ‘A Scanner Darkly’ and although they don’t have a friend on this week, are joined (interrupted) by an unexpected (and uninvited) new guest. Hopefully he doesn’t pop in again, but our apologies for his intrusion on this episode. Aside from that, the boys talk about rotoscope animation, how great Robert Downey Jr. is, and a solid amount about drugs!
