After 2005's digital day-and-date experiment BUBBLE, Soderbergh swung hard in the other direction with a Golden Age Hollywood pastiche: his (loose) adaptation of Joseph Kanon's postwar Berlin mystery THE GOOD GERMAN. Joining us is film writer and literal historian Peter Raleigh! We talk adaptation, aesthetic imitation, Denazification, CASABLANCA, and much more. Check it out!
