Ep. 187: Michael Shannon Directs: Eric LaRue, a premiere at the Tribeca Festival

Welcome to The Last Thing I Saw. I’m your host, Nicolas Rapold. This week I spoke with Michael Shannon who’s become an indelible actor in film, on stage, and on television. Now Shannon has directed his first feature film, Eric LaRue, which is in this year’s Tribeca Festival. It’s based on a play by a longtime collaborator of his, Brett Neveu, who wrote the film’s screenplay. The story is about a woman and her husband who are dealing with the terrible aftermath of their son’s actions. Shannon talks about directing the film; casting Judy Greer and Alex Skarsgard as the parents; what the Theater of the Absurd means to him; and a fascinating movie he has coming up down the road called The End, directed by Joshua Oppenheimer (The Act of Killing). (Shannon also appears in The Flash, opening in theaters this week.)

Ep. 187: Michael Shannon on Directing (Eric LaRue)

For this week's main podcast review, I am joined by Josh Parham and guests Jonathan "The Film Drunk" Fuji & Larry Fried from Geek Vibes Nation. Today, we're discussing "The Flash" starring Ezra Miller, Sasha Calle, Michael Shannon, Ron Livingston, Maribel Verdú, Kiersey Clemons, Antje Traue & Michael Keaton. With so many delays and production troubles, what did we ultimately think of this movie that was dubbed by many (including Tom Cruise) as the greatest superhero movie of all time? Tune in as we discuss the characters, story, performances, visual effects, and more in our SPOILER-FILLED review. Thank you, and enjoy!

"The Flash"

Andrew brings sadness and heaviness in the form of Sidney Lumet’s final film to Johnny, but have no fear because there is still fun to be had. Two Aunt Mays in one film? You bet we’re throwing out Madame Web chat, weirdly contemplate Ricky Stanicky and run through the strange trailers on the blu ray of the movie that do not set you up for the film ahead.

277 - Before The Devil Knows You're Dead

For this week's main podcast review, Lauren LaMagna, Dan Bayer, Sara Clements, Danilo Castro & Tom O'Brien, and I are reviewing the latest film from director Jeff Nichols, "The Bikeriders," starring Austin Butler, Jodie Comer, Tom Hardy, Michael Shannon, Mike Faist, Boyd Holbrook, Damon Herriman, Beau Knapp, Emory Cohen, Karl Glusman, Toby Wallace, Norman Reedus & Happy Anderson. After its world premiere at the 2023 Telluride Film Festival, the film passed from 20th Century Studios to Focus Features, and its theatrical release was delayed from December 2023 to now, in the summer of 2024. With it finally here, what did we ultimately think of it? Tune in as we discuss the writing, performances, themes, soundtrack, awards potential, and more in our SPOILER-FILLED review. Thank you for listening, and enjoy!

"The Bikeriders"

"The End" had its world premiere at the 2024 Telluride Film Festival, where it received a polarizing reception from audiences, but those who loved it really, really loved it. It's the first narrative feature film from Director Joshua Oppenheimer after his two Oscar-nominated documentary films, "The Act Of Killing" and "The Look Of Silence." Oppenheimer and star Michael Shannon were both kind enough to spend some time talking about their work on the musical film, its themes, and resonance to an audience in today's political climate, which can be listened to below. Please be sure to check out the film, which is now playing in theaters from NEON and is up for your consideration for the 97th Academy Awards in all eligible categories. Thank you, and enjoy!

Michael Shannon and Judy Greer

Please be sure to check out the film, which will open in theaters from Magnolia Pictures on Friday, April 4th. Thank you, and enjoy!
