The Popcorn Auteur

Chris Staron & Jon Dickey

Jon and Chris get a film education, one filmmaker at a time. Each month, we pick a famous filmmaker and watch every film that he or she wrote and directed. Then, we research the filmmaker’s history and critical assessments of their work. Finally, we talk about the films, consistent themes throughout, and answer definitively: Are they an auteur and do we like them?

  • Great pod, but needs more POC

    Gives a great perspective on a large range of films across so many different times. I love that you watch the films before you record in order to keep the experience fresh. I’ve learned about so many directors listening to this and have added multiple films to my library. While I feel you do a great job with calling out some of the social complexities in films, whether it’s Sam Peckinpah and his treatment of women or how Wes Anderson can be a bit of a cultural tourist, I would love to see more ... more

  • I look forward to the new episode each month!

    Two articulate but down to earth guys talking about a different movie writer/director each month. Not only is the podcast entertaining and insightful but the films and directors I've been guided to as a result of it have also provided many hours of awesome entertainment.

  • A starter in my podcast rotation

    Really glad I stumbled across this. Despite the erudite name, this podcast is simply two regular guys going on a deep dive discussion of movies through the weekly discussion of one specific filmmaker. Loosely formatted in a way that isn't too tight nor too loose or rambling - both hosts do a great job of mixing research, history, discussion, and straight up opinion. And... JJ Abrams composed the "Felicity" theme... who knew???
