It is easy to say that Steven Spielberg is the most successful American director. Just look at the box office of the movies he’s directed. But is he the best? That’s a much trickier question. Brent and Erik look into this quintessentially American director’s thirty films as a director and weigh the evidence.
We also check in about writing and publishing. Erik talks about a mysterious order of his books and Brent shares why he calls himself the Editor Slayer. (If you want to skip the check-in, the main topic starts at 4:06.)
