Director Showdown

110 episodes - English - Latest episode: about 3 years ago - ★★★★★ - 13 ratings

Director Showdown is an idea that came about after months of intense arguments between Brent Carroll and Adam Daufen about which famous director was better: Spielberg or Kubrick? From those arguments, season one was created. Each new season pits two new directors against each other, and every week Adam and Brent get together to make their case - sometimes with help from guests.
