DIRECTORS COMMENTARY podcast

Introducing my new venture with Spectrevision Radio!

Growing up, one of the most valuable parts of my film education came from Director's Commentaries on Laserdisc, DVD and blu-ray. Sadly, they have largely fallen by the wayside in our increasingly streaming world.

That's why I'm so excited to introduce my new podcast with Spectrevision Radio, DIRECTORS COMMENTARY with MIKE FLANAGAN.

Each episode, I'll interview a filmmaker (or filmmakers!) about how they got started in this business, what movies mean to them, and then we'll watch one of their films together, generating a syncable watch-along track that you can play home with the movie itself. Listen here or wherever you find your podcasts!

Re: Ready or Not. We all know the theory that Grace was always doomed to pull the card because she was too nice a person. But what if the family screwed themselves by still insisting they killed her even after she won?

It is basically explained in the film: You don’t have to win the game, necessarily. You just have to play. It’s fine if you lose.

But you can’t be a cheater.

Trying to kill Grace after she won was not playing fair. So the family had to die. If the family just let her go, would things have went differently?

Notably Aunt Helene dies the second she wants to kill Grace anyway.

Cheating.
