Episode 67: Otto Preminger
from Director's Club
Returning guest and friend to the show Nat Almirall joins us to talk about the great Otto Preminger. We debate the merits of his beloved noir mystery LAURA, and then praise the incredible melodrama, DAISY KENYON. We also touch upon his filmography later in the show including a couple of his classic courtroom dramas. Before that, though, we have discussions about THAT AWKWARD MOMENT, GROUNDHOG DAY, and Patrick talks about indulging in some low-budget VHS horror films. 0:00 - 15:50 - Intro / Tribute To Philip Seymour Hoffman 15:51 - 16:38 - What We Watched Song 16:39 - 59:35 - What We Watched This Week 59:36 - 1:00:44 - Director Song 1:00:45 - 2:17:02 - Freeflowing Preminger discussion 2:17:03 - 2:27:42 - Denouement For the next month, we are devoting the show to the work of Steven Spielberg with a 2-part retrospective featuring past guests Collin Souter and Erik Childress.
