Can a ten-year voyage finally bring the vfxshow crew to a shared opinion about Director Christopher Nolan? Probably not. But listen and find out for yourself.
On this 'vocal' episode of the VFXShow, we discuss how Disclosure Day works as a Spielberg UFO film, how its visual effects support both spectacle and invisible effects - all with some surprising reactions from the guys.
The crew reviews the VFX of Backrooms - which is in a genre that Mike absolutely HATES.

- Very little vfx chat, wanna be directors
Been listening for a while but finally have to give up. 99% of the time they are discussing a plot of a film which they half remember but talk with such confidence whilst messing up plot details.
This show is basically a review show at this point by people who want to be directors and always think they can do better.
Very little vfx chat, if any in each episode.

United Kingdom9 months ago - Great show for VFX insight.
Long time listener for around 6-7 years. Back when I started listening I was thinking I would get into vfx but my career took me down a different visual media path. However I still love this show and the dissection of vfx shots, the takes on plot and character. Really gets me amped to just do more or try more in my other editing projects. Thanks guys for lots of great listens over the years.

Australia7 years ago This show is great- ad-free, and as a CGI artist who sometimes doesn't get the opportunity to delve deep into conversations about films at work out of fear of spoiling it for others, it's fascinating to hear experts get into it, and explain BHTS tech in a format that I have much more time in the day to consume. I wish so much thay there were more of these for every vfx-heavy film! Also wish they could be longer, but I'll take what I can get! Gonna go look for a way to support the show on a reg... more

As a man who in his sad home-life is surrounded by females, this is one monthly visitor I very much welcome. I put on my headphones and I'm transported to a happier place. I'm not in vfx and hence I love the balance between the story and the fx. Zap is hilarious. Keep it up!
