Episode 643: My Favorite Summer... The Directors

Aug 21, 2024

It's the true dog days of summer, as My Favorite Summer has only two eps left before the big pay-off -- Mikey, d$'s and #XLessDrEarl's top ten fave films of all time. 

But first, after listing our favorite actors and actresses, it's time for the Directors!  We invite in Friend of the Show and Elder Movie Statesman, the Voice of Marietta, Scotty Ryfun! 

We chat about our fave movie filmmakers, the movies they have given us, the styles we love, and our own qualifications of how they are favorites... and Ryfun gives quite a defense of both George Lucas and "The Rise of Skywalker". It's not really right, but it's at least passionate.
