Episode 200: Crash & Phantom Thread (feat. Patrick Ripoll)

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Episode 200 is here (technically this is the 300th episode if you include bonus episodes). Of course, I had to invite my original co-host and dear friend Patrick Ripoll back to the show since it all began with him and I talking about <a href= "https://directorsclubpodcast.libsyn.com/website/episode-1-cameron-crowe" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Cameron Crowe</a> in front of microphones back in January 2011. This serves as not only a celebration of the podcast but as an early birthday treat.<br /> <br /> So why not talk about two of my favorite directors over the course of two entire films they’ve made. I was never the biggest fan of <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crash_(1996_film)" target= "_blank" rel="noopener">David Cronenberg’s CRASH</a> but I’m slowly coming around. Patrick was never the biggest fan of <a href= "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phantom_Thread" target="_blank" rel= "noopener">Paul Thomas Anderson’s PHANTOM THREAD</a> either. Now he’s also warming up to it a little more. We hash it out together, ask questions, talk about specific scenes that we adore and so much more throughout this eventful 4 hour conversation.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">You have the option of syncing up the two movies (we instruct how along the way) or simply listen to the two of us talking about both films and the directors that made them. This was pure joy and a great way to celebrate a podcast anniversary that I’m sure you’ll enjoy especially if you’ve been with us since the very beginning.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">00:00 - 11:11 - Introduction</span><span style= "font-weight: 400;"><br /></span><span style= "font-weight: 400;">11:12 - 01:53:49 - Crash Commentary</span><span style= "font-weight: 400;"><br /></span><span style= "font-weight: 400;">01:53:50 - 04:00:12 - Phantom Thread Commentary</span><span style= "font-weight: 400;"><br /></span><span style= "font-weight: 400;">04:00:13 - 04:10:14 - Outro</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight:
