Hello everyone and welcome to a special podcast right here at The Young Folks. With the impending release of Logan, we thought it would be a good idea to discuss the X-men franchise as a whole. Since 2000, the series has evolved and expanded well beyond the initlal trilogy to include spin-offs and a sort of reboot (continuity is not what this franchise is known for). There have been some incredible highs, some disapponting lows and everything else in between. During this podcast, writers Matt Goudreau and Michael Fairbanks recorded their thoughts on:X-menX2: X-men UnitedX-men 3: The Last StandX-men Origins: WolverineX-men: First ClassThe Wolverine (Theatrical and Extended Editions)X-men: Days of Future Past (Theatrical Edition and The Rogue Cut)X-men: ApocalypseAs a brief aside, both Matthew and Michael already discussed X-men: First Class on episode 11 of Directors of Cinema. If you would like to know their in-depth thoughts on the film, the link to the show will also be posted below. Michael also spends the

Each week, host Matt Goudreau and guest talk about a particular director chosen by the co-host.On this episode, Matt is joined by first time guest Lesley Coffin. Coffin, a dedicated film enthusiast, agreed to come aboard to discuss the career of one of the great American auteurs. His name? Francis Ford Coppola, a director with multiple masterpieces to his name. A graduate of the "Roger Corman school of filmmaking, Coppola has gone on to become one of the most important filmmakers of the American New Wave. Given that The Godfather Trilogy is arguably his most famous achievement, most of the discussion is centered around those films. As a result, this is a much longer episode than usual but the conversation (no pun intended) is as in depth as ever. Some of the talking points discussed during the podcast include:Does one

Each week, host Matt Goudreau and guest talk about a particular director chosen by the co-host.On this episode, Matt welcomes first time guest Camille Espiritu to the show. Before they dive into the films of director Andrew Stanton, Camille was ecstatic to detail her recent experience touring the Pixar studio in California....to Matt's envy. Speaking of Pixar, the majority of Stanton's films have been released under the banner of Pixar.  Compared to prior episodes, this one is a bit more laid back because Stanton only has a few films to his directorial name. That doesn't stop Matt and Camille from discussing Finding Dory, Wall-E, A Bug's Life, and John Carter.As always, feel free to download the show for later enjoyment or listen to it directly on Shoutengine.

Welcome to episode 11 of Directors of Cinema. This week, Matt is joined by the Tosche Station crew of Jordan D. and Alexander S. You may recall that Matt appeared on an episode of Tosche Station discussing George Lucas. The boys decided to return the favor by appearing on this show to discuss J.J. Abrams. Once again, it's a merge of directorial discussion mixed with the Star Wars universe. Here are some of the talking points discussed during the episode:Does Star Wars: The Force Awakens feel more like a Star Wars film than an Abrams one?Is Star Trek Into Darkness really the worst film in the series? Does Star Trek get by on its cast alone?Where does Mission Impossible 3 rank amongst the franchise?How much of a Spielberg influence is really present in Super 8?Would we like to see Abrams continue directing franchise installments or should he create one of his own?As always, you can listen to the show over at The Young Folks or right here on Shoutengine!

Welcome to a historic episode of Directors of Cinema....at least from a numerical standpoint. To celebrate our 10th episode, we discussed the one and only Steven Spielberg. Hosted by Matt Goudreau and co-host Jon Winkler, the boys do their best to cover the majority of Spielberg's works in an hour timeframe. Within the episode, they answer questions such as: Has Spielberg ever "phoned it in" on a particular film?Does Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of The Crystal Skull deserve its reputation?Does nostalgia make it difficult to judge Hook as a film?Where would we be nowadays if it was not for Jaws?What is the most underrated film in Spielberg's canon?Thank you to everyone who has listened to us so far. We look forward to providing more episodes in the not too distant future!

Welcome to Directors of Cinema, the podcast highlighting the careers of cinema's most prominent directors. This week is a very special week for two reasons. The first of which is that it is the first episode to feature a returning guest. You may remember Justin from the Wes Craven episode. He's here again along with host Matt to discuss the films of Tim Burton. What's the second reason why this week is special? It's because there's another guest joining them as well. That's right: for the first time there are 3 panelists on one show. We were pleased to welcome Brian A. to the airwaves as well.Some of the films discussed include:Charlie and the Chocolate FactoryBatman ReturnsSweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet StreetPlanet of the ApesMars Attacks!Listen by clicking the play button below or by visiting us over at Shoutengine.

Hello and welcome to yet another episode of Directors of Cinema, the show that highlights the careers of cinema's most prominent directors. Each week, host Matt Goudreau and guest discuss selected works of a chosen director.This week, Matt and special guest Justin talk for quite some time about the works of the late Wes Craven. As you can see, this episode ran much longer than all of the previous episodes but that's because we had so much to debate and talk about. Justin goes to great lengths to vouch for Craven as a true pioneer in the horror genre. While Matt appreciates his contributions to the genre, he argues that Craven's films are much better in concept than they are in execution.Some of the films we discuss include:The Scream FranchiseWes Craven's New NightmareRed EyeCursedA Nightmare on Elm StreetThe Serpent and the RainbowMy Soul to TakeAs always, you can listen to the show directly or download it later for future enjoyment.

Hello and welcome to yet another episode of Directors of Cinema, the podcast that highlights the careers of cinema’s most prominent directors. Each week, host Matthew Goudreau and a guest discuss selected works of a director chosen by the guest.On this episode, Matt welcomes fellow TYF writer Yasmin Kleinbart to the airwaves. After a brief diversion into talking about some upcoming summer films, they finally get onto the main topic; Wes Anderson. Although his style has recieved praise from fans and critics alike, his detractors frequently argue that his films may be a little too over-stylized to compensate for a lack of story. Do Matt and Yasmin feel that Anderson's films are a perfect unison of visual and narrative storytelling? Listen to find out.The films discussed in this episode include:Bottle RocketThe Royal TenenbaumsThe Darjeeling LimitedFantastic Mr. FoxThe Grand Budapest HotelAs always, you can listen to the show directly on Shoutengine or you can download it for later enjoyment.

Welcome to another episode of Directors of Cinema.For this episode, Matt chose to reach outside the ranks of the TYF staff. Luckily, his longtime friend and film fan Alex McDevitt was willing to answer the call. He chose to talk about the films of director Danny Boyle. As the boys point out several times, no two Boyle films are alike. Matt even goes so far as to compare him to Stanley Kubrick in that regard. What do they have to say about Boyle’s eclectic filmography? Tune in to find out more.

After Tyler gives some background as to how his love for movies began, the boys dive into talking about Fincher. After a successful career in music videos and commercial directing, Fincher broke onto the movie scene with Alien 3. Although it was met with mixed reception at best (Fincher has since shown his disapproval with the finished product), it did open the door of oppurtunity for Fincher to continue his film career.As always, you can listen to the show directly on Shoutengine or download it for later enjoyment.
