Film Directors: Mythical Creatures with Adam Volerich

On today’s episode, Know Your Role(s) welcomes director, cinematographer, and editor Adam Volerich to the pod! On tap in this week’s Bar Talk are Barry Jenkins’ new Amazon series “Underground Railroad” premiering May 14th and Wednesday’s Washington Capitals and New York Rangers fight where a hockey game broke out. Adam discusses the origins behind his crime story podcast “Kinda Murdery” and how his experience looking into the “Eye of the Duck” has changed the way he sees movies, both as a writer and an audience member. Adam, George, and Dave discuss the trajectory of the film industry, returning to movie theaters, and their shared appreciation for romantic comedies. In this week’s game, Adam and the fellas compare film directors to mythical creatures from extraordinary Siren Kathryn Bigelow to Hayao Miyazaki’s fantastical Phoenix and beyond! George looks forward to HBO’s "The Crime of the Century," premiering May 10th, and Dave gets excited for Raoul Peck's 4-part docuseries "Exterminate All the Brutes," available now on HBO Max. Producer Marybess foregoes her usual segment to celebrate a return to NYC after a long absence.
