Show Notes

Adam and Brent get into the first Michael Bay film of the season with 'The Rock', recorded on the 25th anniversary of the movies release! Their friend Brian Menard returns to get into a bit of Nicolas Cage, the heavy hitting writers that worked on the script, why Ed Harris is one of our best actors, and general cultural context for the movie. It's generally agreed upon as a staple of 90's action cinema, so enjoy the fellas getting into the nitty gritty!

What is Director Showdown?

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.
