The Establishing Shot
Not your typical movie review podcast! The Establishing Shot centers around deep dives into the filmographies of directors, covering their films episode by episode. This is not just about reviewing their movies but looking deeper at what influences, themes, and filmmaking techniques are used across a director's body of work. Join me and my array of guest hosts as we give you an establishing shot of these directors and their films along with fun segments like movie news, movie drafts, bad movie of the week, and recommendations of the week!
