#ReleaseTheSnyderCut, Dylan and Scorsese’s Netflix Deep Fake, and Jim Jarmusch on ‘The Dead Don’t Die’

Justice League 2017

Zack Snyder left mid-production after his daughter's death; Joss Whedon finished it, and the result reads nothing like Snyder's earlier DC movies.

Man of Steel 2013

First of Snyder's DCEU trilogy, with Henry Cavill as Superman.

Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice 2016

Second entry in the trilogy; both hosts call it a critical low point for Snyder.

300 2007

Watchmen 2009

Sucker Punch 2011

Dawn of the Dead 2004

Snyder's remake, cited as a movie some fans genuinely rate.

Blade Runner 1982

Cited as precedent for a fan-championed cut eventually reaching release.

Superman II 1980

The Richard Donner Cut is the closest analogue to what Snyder Cut fans want.

Wonder Woman 2017

Part of the DCEU's recovery since Justice League.

Suicide Squad 2016

Aquaman 2018

Crossed $1 billion worldwide, cited as evidence the DCEU has moved past the Snyder era.

Shazam! 2019

Joker 2019

Mentioned as the DCEU's next big swing, out that fall.

Wonder Woman 1984 2020

Cited as the next tentpole, secure enough that WB isn't bringing it to Comic-Con.

Rolling Thunder Revue: A Bob Dylan Story by Martin Scorsese 2019

Scorsese's mockumentary about Dylan's 1975 tour, mixing real footage with invented characters like the fake documentarian "Stefan von Dorp" and Sharon Stone's phony backstage story.

No Direction Home: Bob Dylan 2005

Scorsese's earlier, straighter Dylan documentary.

Renaldo and Clara 1978

Dylan's own four-hour film from the same tour, partly written by Sam Shepard; Rob: 'not a rewatchable, is my take.'

The Last Waltz 1978

Cited alongside Chronicles and Blonde on Blonde as other ways into the Dylan mythos.

Nashville 1975

Ronee Blakley, fresh off this film, is one of the tour's musicians.

This Is Spinal Tap 1984

Sean compares the Dylan/Ginsberg graveside scene to Spinal Tap's Graceland bit, beat for beat.

The Dead Don't Die 2019

Jarmusch's zombie comedy, made in the Romero mold with Bill Murray and Adam Driver; the only music is an original Sturgill Simpson title song.

Only Lovers Left Alive 2013

Jarmusch's vampire film; he says he'd been thinking about a zombie movie ever since.

Coffee and Cigarettes 2003

The vignette structure Jarmusch originally wanted to riff on for this film.

Night on Earth 1991

Sean's point of comparison for shooting so much of the film inside cars.

Paterson 2016

Jarmusch and Adam Driver's running joke about a nihilistic spinoff, 'Peterson,' started on this shoot.

Broken Flowers 2005

Where Jarmusch started giving Bill Murray's characters joke names; here he's Cliff Robertson.

Dawn of the Dead 1978

Romero's mall-set sequel, Jarmusch's reference for the zombies returning to their old habits and devices.

Night of the Living Dead 1968

Jarmusch's guide for turning budget constraints into style; he and DP Fred Elms shot day-for-night on purpose.

High Life 2018

Jarmusch's pick for a recent film he can't shake, from Claire Denis.

Roma 2018

The Favourite 2018

Shoplifters 2018

BlacKkKlansman 2018

The Death of Stalin 2017
