Show Notes
You see, in this world there’s two kinds of people, my friend: Those who listen to a historical retrospective of Sergio Leone’s filmography that details the production of movies like The Colossus of Rhodes, A Fistful of Dollars, For a Few Dollars More, The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly, Once Upon a Time in the West, Duck You Sucker!, and Once Upon a Time in America… and those who don’t. --------------------------------------- Watch on Youtube: https://linktr.ee/TheDirectorDossiers

More from The Director Dossiers
“Never interrupt your enemy when he is listening to a deep dive into the script, the history, the pre-production, and the ultimate unmaking of Stanley Kubrick’s Unmade Napoleon Film.” - Napoleon Bonaparte
“Welp, I guess if a man’s fool enough not to listen to a film history deep dive on the writing, filming, editing, and release of Robert Altman’s McCabe & Mrs. Miller with a woman, she ain’t gonna think much of him.”
All work and no film history makes Jack a dull boy. All work and no deep dive on The Shining makes Jack a dull boy. All work and no fascinating insight makes Jack a dull boy. All work and no Stanley Kubrick makes Jack a dull boy. All work and no well researched podcast makes Jack a dull boy. All work and no Director Dossiers makes Jack a dull boy.
Special Agent Dale Cooper: Diane, The Director Dossiers released Part Two of their David Lynch retrospective. This time they detail the history behind the productions of Wild at Heart, Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me, Lost Highway, The Straight Story, Mulholland Drive, Inland Empire, and Twin Peaks: The Return. My god, I've learned a lot about David Lynch, and their insight into his movies has really made me appreciate the man and his stories. Diane, do yourself a favor and watch Lynch's work.
Special Agent Dale Cooper: Diane, 7:30am, February 24th. I've discovered a film history podcast called The Director Dossiers. Two filmmakers blending insightful, in-depth film discussion with a relaxed, hang-out style atmosphere. Never seen such a well-researched podcast in my life. They've just released Part One of a two episode retrospective on the life and filmography of David Lynch. They detail the history behind the productions of Eraserhead, The Elephant Man, Dune, Blue Velvet, and Twin Peaks: The Original Series. Damn good conversation. Diane, if you ever stumble upon The Director Dossiers, that podcast is worth a listen.
