Director's Club

Way back in 2012 before THE MASTER had come out, for Episode 35, my former co-host Patrick and I enlisted Steve Prokopy to talk about my favorite director of all time. There were some disagreements here and there but it was a memorable discussion back then. Now that PTA has released four fascinating movies since the last time we recorded, it’s about time I recruit one of the people responsible for turning me into a movie freak: Mr. Nick Digilio of The Nick D Podcast. We catch up with Nick, talk very briefly about the Oscars and then we have conversations about THE MASTER, INHERENT VICE, PHANTOM THREAD & LICORICE PIZZA and we end with listing our top three favorites.. For an albeit dated discussion on the other films, check out the first PTA episode linked below. It was an honor to have Nick and Steve back on the podcast and stay tuned for Bill Ackerman’s next contribution (which will be multiple episodes) coming early next month. 00:00 - 18:23 - Introduction / Oscar Talk 18:24 - 01:10:59 - The Master /
