The Popcorn Auteur

Di: Chris Staron & Jon Dickey
  • Riassunto

  • Jon and Chris get a film education, one filmmaker at a time. Each month, we pick a famous filmmaker and watch every film that he or she wrote and directed. Then, we research the filmmaker’s history and critical assessments of their work. Finally, we talk about the films, consistent themes throughout, and answer definitively: Are they an auteur and do we like them?

  • Alejandro G. Iñárritu
    Dec 16 2024

    Why did it take us this long to cover the last of the three amigos? Perhaps it was the memories of Babel or a fear of bear attacks. Or perhaps the fact that Alejandro G. Iñárritu wasn't always a screenwriter. No matter the reason, in this episdoe we have a spolier-filled discussion of the four films written and directed by Iñárritu.

    As an added bonus, you get to hear Chris mispronounce a number of Spanish words (in addition to the usual French words).
