Welcome to the latest episode of our official podcast, The Film Stage Show. This week, staff writer Danny King, associate editor Nick Newman, and I talk about what happens when niche director’s go mainstream. Then, we talk about the latest film to bring a director to a wide audience, Harmony Korine‘s Spring Breakers. To wrap up, we take a look at the films coming to theaters and DVD in the coming week, which include Lincoln, Room 237, G.I. Joe: Retaliation and more. Then we give you our random recommendations of things we watched on our own this week.
