Directors’ First Movies: Jackson & Rodriguez

On the Season 2 finale of Talking Movies with My Mom, we’re going back to where it began for two of our favorite directors – Peter Jackson ("Bad Taste") and Robert Rodriguez ("El Mariachi"). We consider the power of youthful energy and scrappy ingenuity when making a movie on a low budget, how a first film foreshadows a director’s vision and style, and the life lesson of using seagulls to break your fall.  For additional information, resources, and a transcript of the episode, visit https://www.podcastics.com/podcast/talking-movies-with-my-mom/ You can also follow us on Instagram @talkingmovieswithmymom.
