Director Showdown

Adam and Brent talk David Lean's 1965 Romantic Epic 'Doctor Zhivago'!

Show Notes

This week Adam and Brent are talking David Lean's sweeping romantic epic 'Doctor Zhivago'! They get into what makes the movie possibly an 'anti-epic', Omar Sharif's quiet and smoldering intensity, as well as Brent finding out what a 'gun name' is (he receives one in this episode) as well as what happened to the real Ryan Reynolds! It's a great breakdown of a fascinating evolution of David Lean's skills as a director. Thank you for listening and make sure to rate/review/subscribe if you haven't!

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.
