On this episode, we take a huge hit of nostalgia off of new Netflix series Stranger Things. There's also time to talk briefly about Brady Corbet's austere, slightly unhinged directorial debut The Childhood of a Leader while Joe announces his next pick for HOLD UP: Richard Linklater's SubUrbia.

The hosts of Over/Under Movies get neurotic as hell and dive into their anxieties about creativity and their life struggles. This episode is a Charlie Kaufman special, as host Oktay Ege Kozak chose Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind as the overrated up against Adaptation as the underrated.

Steven Soderbergh stops by the Nitehawk Cinema to talk about his 2011 action film "Haywire," his re-edit of his 1991 film "Kafka," his almost-experiences with a James Bond film, the fell-apart "Moneyball" and more.

Have you been bored with most the movies this Summer? Does it feel like things are changing, but not necessarily towards making better movies? Well, AYT is back and we got your anxieties covered. We don't really have a traditional review on this episode. This show is what we like to call a state of the industry discussion.

Ryan pits Michael Bay's debut "Bad Boys" as the Over against "The Last Boy Scout" for Under. As usual, Playlist writer Oktay Ege Kozak and myself join in for the discussion.

The Playlist's Editor in Chief Rodrigo Perez moderates a Q & A with director Nicolas Winding Refn for his new film The Neon Demon that took place live recently at the Film Society of Lincoln Center.

The Playlist Podcast returns for an auteur-centric episode, in two parts. On the first half, my interview with Anna Rose Holmer about her debut feature "The Fits," an idiosyncratic and deeply cinematic indie film about a young girl's coming of age transition from tomboy boxer to competitive dancer. The second half of the show is devoted to "Cosmos," the final film from Polish auteur Andrzej Zulwaski.

Joe and Erik dig deep into the career of filmmaker Brian De Palma, in honor of the new documentary out in theaters about his work, De Palma. We also add in a new edition of HOLD UP, looking to see how Carlito's Way looks with modern eyes.
