Spielberg Intermission 2 (90s-00s Recap & 10s-20s Preview)
The 1990s and 2000s were some of Spielberg’s most successful decades! We see him come into his own as a director and mogul of the movie industry. He solidifies his legacy as a household name, and silences his harshest critics by showing his ability to make both popcorn blockbusters and “important” and artful films. This episode looks at takeaways from the middle career of Spielberg and then looks forward to the last stretch of his career, asking questions of what we might learn from his films of the last 15 years. I also share my favorite performances, scenes, and images from his films of the 90s and 00s.
