Episode 97: 2008 with Daniel Waters
A podcast about the great movie years.
Screenwriter (Heathers, Demolition Man, Batman Returns) and encyclopedic cinephile Daniel Waters joins us to discuss 2008—a key year for him as a filmmaker and film lover, thanks to the likes of Synecdoche, New York, Love Exposure, and The Dark Knight.
Listen on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Overcast, Google Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
Synecdoche, New York is streaming on the Criterion Channel (but just through the end of the month!) and is available for digital rental or purchase. The Dark Knight is streaming on Max and is also available for digital rental or purchase.
Tell No One is streaming on Amazon Prime, MUBI, Kanopy, Hoopla, Tubi, and more. In Bruges is available for digital rental or purchase. And finally, Love Exposure is not available for streaming OR digital rental or purchase, because the world is deeply unfair, but let’s just say we know for a fact that it can be torrented fairly easily.
You can follow Mr. Waters on Twitter, Letterboxd, and Instagram, and here are all the places where you can stream Heathers, if it’s been too long (and it probably has). You can follow Jason on Blusky, Instagram, and Letterboxd - where you'll find his lists of all the movies on every episode of the show (including this one). You can follow Mike on Instagram, Blusky and Twitter/X/whatever.
If you’d like to watch the trailer for The Sessionography, the documentary that Mike mentioned, you can do that here. And if you’d like to pre-order Jason’s new book Gandolfini: Jim, Tony, and the Life of a Legend, you can pre-order it from Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and Bookshop.
Last but not least, if you’d like to make a little donation to support us and the show, you can do that at Ko-fi!
