Episode 228: Jeremy Saulnier (feat. Mitchell Beaupre)

Director's Club

It's been six weeks since a new episode of the show but this will be worth the wait, given not only the director we're covering but the guest is one of the best film critics working today. Letterboxd's very own Mitchell Beaupre returns after their debut a couple years ago for a nail-biting discussion on one of our premiere action-thriller directors working today. Jeremy Saulnier has a terrific new movie out on Netflix called Rebel Ridge which we review at length in addition to the rest of his filmography.

For the first half hour though after the introduction, we review a little-talked about movie that just came out called Megalopolis by an obscure director named Francis Ford Coppola. Then after our conversation, you get to hear an archival interview I did about a decade ago with Jeremy Saulnier promoting the release of Green Room! All in all, you're in for a treat. Stay tuned next month in mid-late October for a spooky discussion on Guillermo Del Toro next. Another episode long overdue featuring returning guest and librarian Chloe Waryan!
