Oeuvre Busters presents is a feed where Liam Billingham talks to folks about movies. It used to be deep dives into one specific filmmaker (Oeuvre Busters). Sometimes it's Rohmercast: a podcast about Éric Rohmer: his films, his working methods, and anything else we want to talk about related to Éric Rohmer. Right now, it's whatever he feels like!

Despite making $360 million dollars and being loved and reviled in equal measure, sometimes I feel like Christopher Nolan’s spy-meets-time-travel hard sci-fi epic TENET doesn’t exist. The movie came out in the deepest of COVID, and even among those who saw it, more than half were put off by its (at times) unintelligible dialogue and convoluted plot. It has had a few returns to movie theaters since, and is available on physical and digital media, but isn't among his most celebrated or most visible works.
But at this moment, in the summer of 2023, it feels like it exists now more than ever. With OPPENHEIMER in movie theaters and enjoying massive success, more and more people seem to be talking about TENET. I'm a big fan. And I wanted to talk about it with another big fan.
On this episode, I'm talking to NYMag film critic Bilge Ebiri. Bilge has spent the summer writing (https://www.vulture.com/article/oppenheimer-christopher-nolan-cillian-murphy-behind-the-scenes.html) and talking (https://cowspod.wordpress.com/2023/08/04/oppenheimer-2023/) about OPPENHEIMER, and his work really brings us into the world of the making of a new classic.
We talk about TENET, OPPENHEIMER, and how they are speaking to each other. We also talk about Kenneth Branaugh (the best), the anxiety of parenting, Turkish history, how every scene in TENET is the best scene in the movie, and a lot more. We also reveal the secret agenda of this podcast episode: to get TENET re-released in 70mm iMax.
Oh, yea, and DARK KNIGHT RISES. It rules.

Season 2 Wrap Up!
Welcome to the SEASON TWO FINALE of RohmerCast: the podcast about Eric Rohmer, his films, his working methods, and anything else we want to talk about related to Eric Rohmer.
In our eighth episode we discuss Rohmer’s production methods via LA COLLECTIONNEUSE, PERCEVAL, and THE GREEN RAY. This leads to the following tangents: monster trucks named after Rohmer movies, post-dubbing naturalism, sound recording as a practical AND aesthetic choice, functional light, different approaches to working with actors, and connections to Dogme 95.
At the time of this episode’s release, La Collectionneuse and The Green Ray are on The Criterion Channel; Perceval is on Tubi.

The Green Ray
Welcome to RohmerCast; the podcast about Eric Rohmer, his films, his working methods, and anything else we want to talk about related to Eric Rohmer.
In our seventh episode we discuss Le rayon vert (The Green Ray), his entirely improvised film from 1986. This leads to the following tangents: summertime sadness, different kinds of holidays, traveling alone, the feeling of a documentary, premiering on television, The Worst Person in the World, personal superstitions, others dictating your life choices, tv interviews as the basis for improvisation, weird titles, poetic ideals, feeling invisible, and White Stripes vs Dashboard Confessional.
At the time of release, you can stream the movie on The Criterion Channel.
