Join us as we follow last year's anniversary with our Season 2 10 lists of essential films and insider films.We also add a couple final reviews with a look at the most requested films of the year: The Coen Brothers' No Country For Old Men and P.T.

WTD43: Alfred Hitchcock Part 1 (The British Talkies)
Now, after great confusion, comes the single-most requested episode of WTD: the elusive Part 1 (of 3) in Hitchcock's filmography. Beginning with prototypical mistaken identity/murder suspense thriller of Blackmail, and moving through landmarks like The Lady Vanishes, we look over the formative years of one of the most iconic directors of the twentieth century. On this episode we explore the British era of Hitch's work, culminating in the bizarre, romantic thriller, Rebecca.And, we also make an i...

In the collective genius that is the Ten Quiz, we take a gander at the second-most forgotten era of a great director's work. Along with the hosts' own insights, listeners have provided true insight into Sir Alfred's films, from the first murder with sound in Blackmail to the last British film (or first American), Rebecca....

WTD42: Michael Powell (stereo)
It's not hard to list directors from the studio era that are considered greats: Welles, Hawks, Wilder, Capra and Ford. But if you ask modern giant Martin Scorsese, he might remind you about a British director named Michael Powell. Together with long-time partner Emerich Pressburger, Powell formed the production company "The Archers." That team produced remarkable films that are generally underwatched and underappreciated in the United States. Whether it's the epic The Life and Death of...

WTD41: Steven Soderbergh
There aren't many directors who get to be called "cool" as often as Mr. Steven Soderbergh. But the de facto chronicler of the new Rat Pack didn't start that way. Before Ocean's 11 (12 and 13), he was best known for a little indie film called Sex, Lies, and Videotape. That movie's frank dialogue and personal filmmaking style helped secure the power of Sundance and the rise of independent filmmakers everywhere. But Soderbergh also has some interest in how films are made, including the ca...

WTD40: Woody Allen (1966-85)
If you spend a little time with Woody Allen, you start to see things in a different way. New York is a city of romance, music, farce and love. And behind every relationship is a disfunction waiting to happen. On this episode, we look through Mr. Allen's eyes and come away shaped by a Freudian perspective. With comedies like Bananas and Sleeper, Allen demonstrated his appreciation for the old comics. With Manhattan, Annie Hall and The Purple Rose of Cairo, he showed he had his own ideas. On this ...

Judging by a few listener submitted lists, Woody Allen - in the period between 1966 and 1985 - is either one of the greatest filmmakers of all time, or a hack that should be resigned to direction late-night infommercials. We do all that we can to get to the truth through a stack of Ten Quizes and our own little insights....

WTD39: Mira Nair
We all have a list of movies we keep meaning to watch: Citizen Kane, Birth of a Nation, anything from Fellini. But maybe there's some room on that list for Salaam Bombay!, Monsoon Wedding or The Namesake. In this episode we talk about the director of those films, Mira Nair, and her contribution to cinema. Nair's feature work over the last twenty years has been momentarily noticed and then neglected. But does it deserve more attention? Join us as we talk about the immigrant experience, literary f...

WTD38: Terry Gilliam (stereo)
In this immense, action-packed edition of WTD, we take a long look at one of our most exciting and eloquent directors (or perhaps you would prefer another "e" adjective, like "egomaniacal"). Terry Gilliam has an identifiable aesthetic and a constant thematic affection that floats through all his movies - films like Brazil, 12 Monkeys and Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. To discuss such a weighty filmmaker, we are joined by Duke Senter from the Degree of Separation podcast and ...

WTD37: Richard Linklater
Known as a champion of independent film to many, Richard Linklater has a keen interest in making movies about... nothing. Instead, he follows conversations with a camera, moving from Austin to Vienna to Paris (that French one) and back to Texas, viewers are treated to people talking more often than plots. On this episode we look at the work of Linklater who has given us iconic characters in Dazed and Confused, the essential couple-talk film with Before Sunrise and a mix of experiments and mainst...

WTD36: Akira Kurosawa (1948-58)
On this episode, we come dangerously close to starting a fan club. Akira Kurosawa is generally recognized as one of an elite class of filmmakers, a group whose names include Fellini, Hitchcock and Eisenstein. But knowing the legend and actually seeing the films produces a different, and surprising impression. Join us as we discuss an eleven year period of filmmaking that could easily be considered one of the most productive and influential ever compiled. Kurosawa may be known for The Seven Samur...

Ol' Jack Burton will tell you, this is the episode you need to listen to. In the hour that follows, we'll look at Jack, Snake, the Shape and other icons you would never have heard of without the peculiar mind and work of John Carpenter. Looking through twenty years of one of our most distinct and independent filmmakers we find a few gems and a few disasters. We start with an homage to Rio Bravo, hints of George Romero, references to Howard Hawks and Don Siegel - all blended with a premiere USC e...

On this special edition of WTD, we spend some time with a guy who we've heard a lot about, but seen little from. Terrence Malick is one of the most withdrawn but celbrated actors in American filmmaking despite having created only four feature films over the last 34 years (a fifth, Tree of Life, is currently in pre-production and slated for 2008).Join us as we review Malick's work, aesthetic and affections.

WTD34: Jane Campion
Jane Campion was something of a mystery in the 1990s. Her breakthrough film, The Piano, seemed to signal the emergence of an important new voice amidst a number of new and exciting voices (i.e. Fincher, Tarantino). Yet anticipation for her films has not followed those of her peers. Instead, much of Campion's work remains unseen by popular audiences. However, that hasn't kept critical voices from pointing to her as an important director capable of capturing elements of the human experience with u...

WTD33a: Leo McCarey (1931-62)
Jean Renoir once called Leo McCarey a great humanist, or, more precisely, said that McCarey understood people better than anyone in Hollywood. A few decades have passed and Mr. McCarey's legend has shifted to that of melodrama and family-friendly comedy. On this edition, we'll review a sliver of the director's work, reflecting on his contributions, his voice and whether it's time for a revisit of McCarey's legacy. Join us as we look at the monumental classics Duck Soup and An Affair To Remember,...

Some directors are destined to be remembered, others forgotten, and then there's James Whale - a director who is mostly obscured. Although he is known for his two landmark creations - the Frankenstein series and The Invisible Man - he actually did a bit more... a whole lot more. The problem is that his musical, Showboat, is hard to get hold of. His premiere World War I film, Journey's End, hasn't made it to the U.S. yet. But what does exist is provocative and fulfills the entertainer's mandate: ...

Considered by many to be the essential director of 1980's teen films, Hughes has also put together a compelling writing career.

Combined with a breakthrough masterpiece with 1996's Fargo, the Coens have demonstrated a persistent style and quality ...

He told simple stories about conversations and sentiment.On this episode we look at Smith's...
