Episode #1 of Deep Focus. Rodrigo Perez talks to director James Gray about "The Lost City Of Z," nearly offending Isabelle Huppert, working with Brad Pitt and his many thoughts on the state of cinema while trying to adapt to current state of the ever-evolving film industry.

Fellow Playlist writer Andy Crump joins Oktay and Ryan again this week, as Ryan slays "From Dusk Till Dawn" and invites in "Near Dark."

On this episode of Adjust Your Tracking, Joe and Erik start things off with more chatter about the state of going out to the movies, and how things are rapidly evolving in this streaming era. We then move on to our two main reviews: new Netflix speculative sci-fi drama The Discovery and Neon's new release in theaters, Colossal. The back half of this episode features a grab bag of recommendations, starting with the latest from Romanian master Christian Mungiu, Graduation, and then moving to the some streaming options in the wonderful documentary miniseries Five Came Back and season 2 of Fargo. Continuing with our Jesse Plemons theme this episode (he's in three of the films/shows we discuss), Joe also highlights Other People and Stretch & Bobbito: Radio That Changed Lives.

Ryan Oliver and Playlist Editor-in-Chief Rodrigo Perez discuss the middling box office performance of "Ghost in the Shell," what it means for Paramount, and how it relates to Hollywood's diversity problem.

Ryan Oliver is joined by Playlist Editor-in-Chief Rodrigo Perez to discuss the news about Joss Whedon directing Batgirl, as well as the overall issues with the DCEU.

Oktay and Ryan are joined by fellow Playlist writer Andy Crump to discuss two different, but oddly similar sci-fi films about philosophy and robot overlords: The Wachowski Sisters' "The Matrix" and Edgar Wright's "The World's End."

On this sixth episode of our TV podcast, host Kimber Myers chats with Playlist editor-in-chief Rodrigo Perez about Netflix's "Iron Fist," FX's "Legion," and the rest of the Marvel shows taking over our televisions.

Joe and Erik discuss the importance of going out to the movies and preserving the theatrical experience. Then it's on to the main discussion of new genre mashup films Personal Shopper and Raw, the latter film already an early AYT favorite for 2017.

After a much-needed breather from podcasting after a crazy last few months, Joe and Erik have gotten back on mic to continue with Adjust Your Tracking. On this episode, they talk about the absence and looking for meaning again in cinema. A few new titles out there come up, most notably Jordan Peele's wonderful box office hit Get Out, and Macon Blair's Sundance-winning, already-streaming on Netflix and perfectly-titled I Don't Feel At Home In This World Anymore. Also, why The Lobster is the film of our time.
