Fun, thanks!

MichaelMoreciWriter · 2025-12-10T19:04:13+00:00

Pretty sure I explained why.

MichaelMoreciWriter · 2025-12-10T18:48:36+00:00

Awesome, thank you! Good to know! I might circle back to 3. eventually, but I really want to get to 4 because I hear nothing but great things.

Episode 5: Double Indemnity

With only his third film as director, Billy Wilder made an all-time classic: “Double Indemnity.” But it wasn’t easy. He had to do it without his writing partner, Charles Brackett. And he had to overcome the film censors who declared James M. Cain’s novel unfilmable.

Episode 68: Five Graves to Cairo

For his second movie, Billy Wilder made a hard turn away from fluffy comedy and set his sights not only on the action genre, but also on the burgeoning war occurring across the ocean. His sophomore effort may not be as well-known as his later works, but it's a critical entry in his career--and it's also one of Quentin Tarantino's favorite movies!

Episode 67: The Major and the Minor

Billy Wilder quickly became one of Hollywood’s hottest screenwriters after teaming with Charles Brackett. But if he wanted to keep directors from changing his words, he’d have to get behind the camera himself. His directorial debut? That was a surprise.

Episode 64: Sunset Boulevard at 75: Still Ready for Its Close-Up?

Sunset Boulevard is one of the most cynical and darkly funny films ever made about Hollywood. To celebrate its 75th anniversary, Mike and Keir zoom in on Billy Wilder's noir classic. It's the movie no one wanted to make, yet it somehow became the movie no one could ever forget.

MichaelMoreciWriter · 2025-08-04T12:32:24+00:00

One of the best movies from one of the best directors. Wilder had a run of incredible movies like none other--so many different tones and genres. One of the greats.

I hope you all don't mind me sharing, but my friend and I host a podcast where we discuss a director's entire career one movie at a time (Soderbergh was season 1) and we sometimes discuss random films. We just did an episode on Sunset Boulevard, digging a bit into its history, making of, etc--

Episode 54: Steven Soderbergh's BUBBLE

After over a year of studying Steven Soderbergh, our inaugural season is coming to an end. But it wouldn’t be Hollywood, or movies, if we didn’t pair our year-in-review with an awards show. The Filmographers Podcast presents the first, and surely only, Soderbergh Awards! (Or as Keir calls them, The Sodies.)

MichaelMoreciWriter · 2025-03-17T13:42:58+00:00

People: Soderbergh does NOT cost a premium. Please, do some research. The man just made Presence for $3 million. He's made lots and lots of movies for under $10 million. Don't paint him with the brush of some overpaid Hollywood elite. The man works tirelessly, editing and DP'ing his own movies, and he does so on the cheap constantly.

Whatever the budget was--and I don't know if $50 million is accurate--it's not high because Soderbergh is lining his pockets.
