Is there a more versatile, prolific American director working today than Steven Soderbergh? In 1989, Soderbergh became the youngest American director to ever screen a film in competition at the Cannes Film Festival and changed independent film forever with his provocative debut "sex, lies and videotape." Since then, Soderbergh has directed over 35 films and several television series, working in nearly every genre imaginable, embracing multiple formats across a wide spectrum of mediums, making him impossible to pin down.
But what happens when the Oscar winning director is given the keys to his first major franchise in the wake of the unexpected success of his "Ocean's Eleven" remake? Instead of doubling down on the magic of his 2001 iteration, Soderbergh decided to switch gears and deliver a polarizing art-house rendition of a heist film on Warner Bros' dime, nearly destroying the budding franchise in the process.
Filmmaker Andrew Jacobson joins us to defend the 2004 sequel that's divided Soderbergh fans since its release. Was the vitriolic response to the film warranted? Were fans just looking for more of the same? What makes a good sequel in the first place? Should more directors step out of their comfort zone the way Soderbergh does? Has Matt Damon ever given a bad performance? Why do people hate the laser scene so much? Find out right here on our Rotten Vibes finale.
