The Popcorn Auteur


Pretty straightforward. We watch all the movies of famous filmmakers and then discuss anything and everything that happens to interest us about them.

Jan 27, 2017

George Lucas may be the most talked and written about filmmaker in the history of movies.  We take a fresh look at the full scope of Lucas's works, from THX 1138 to Revenge of the Sith.  Will we find genius and ambition in the prequels or half-baked fan service?  Will American Graffiti compare well to modern "gems" like Can't Hardly Wait and Superbad?  Will Lucas ever direct again?
