Movie Directors: The A-List | Ep #59

If you guys want to continue the Director's conversation I strongly recommend you check out Federico Fellini. La Strada, La Dolce Vita and 8 1/2 are good movies to start with.

I love that idea. I've seen La Dolce Vita but not 8 1/2.

[Ashley]

8 1/2 is a bit odd but it's a good film. I think it is supposed to represent his life and all the women that had come in and out of it.

You should do another podcast about A-List directors that don't premiere their movies at Comic Con. (I don't know who those directors would be myself, but maybe Ashley can help you out.)

Readers who follow my comments know that every 15 comments, I like to make an "Addendum Comment" to take care of any mistakes I might have made. So, I'd like to thank long-time reader, Drew, for bringing up my last comment about their choices in A-List directors. It turns out I missed the part where they outlined the criteria for the episode. I apologize for my snarky tone.
That was the only mistake I've made. Thus concludes the Addendum Comment!
