Desert settings always make for a great cinematic experience! This was just as true for Nolan’s Oppenheimer even if the desert was being used for something highly problematic. In this episode, we take turns drafting our favorite movies with desert settings. They span a wide variety of genres from sci-fi to thriller to classic epics to animated musicals! And as it turns out, talking desert movies is not so dry after all. https://www.establishingshotpod.com/ Feedback: Email us at establishing...

This week we discuss “Asteroid City”, Wes Anderson’s latest film. With a meta-textual, layered framing device, highly stylized desert set and just as dry characters, and Wes at the height of his powers, this discussion was bound to be great. In our movie news section, we discuss Wes Anderson and other directors of his generation and what makes them tick. Finally, we do a draft of movies with deserts and share our recommendations of the week. https://www.establishingshotpod.com/ Times...
