Über diesen Titel

 If you’re looking for the best movie podcast for everyone who appreciates movies, subscribe to “Houselights” today!

Each week, hosts Darren Moser, John Mills, and Tristan Riddell share what they see as a movie director’s signature approach and how it shaped the movies you love. Join them as they unpack the works of some of the most prominent directors - and the lost works of the most masterful auteurs.

Weekly episodes comprise series featuring works of different directors approached in unexpected ways. For example:
  • The entire filmography of a celebrated director like David Fincher or Christopher Nolan;
  • The films of a director during a particular decade, like Francis Ford Coppola in the 1990s;
  • A single film from each decade of the impactful director Spike Lee to see how his style evolved;
  • The approach of different directors to a single franchise character or series, such as Hannibal Lecter or James Bond, and
  • They’re always open to suggestions from listeners at https://thenerdparty.com/contact!
In each case, your hosts bring unique takes to the discussion, fostering an informative conversation that’s equally insightful and entertaining...from an objectively critical but objectively fair angle.

So, if you’re interested in the stories behind the story, the decisions that shape our favorite films, and the people who make them happen, “Houselights” is the best movie podcast for you.
