It’s finally time for Season 8 of Director Showdown: Edgar Wright vs. Taika Waititi, kicking things off with 2004’s ‘Shaun of the Dead’!

We’ve also been talking about covering comedy directors since practically the beginning, deciding on these two guys, each with their own careers climbing the zeitgeist and building interesting filmographies. On this season opener talking ‘Shaun of the Dead’, the guys lay out what’s coming ahead, get into Wright’s unique, and modern culmination of visual storytelling, foreshadowing and callbacks, and their favorite zombie movies! We hope you’ll join us with a nice, comfy quarantine season of entertaining comedies while we all wait for this to blow over!

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.
