Pod Me If You Cast is a miniseries on the films of Steven Spielberg: The DreamWorks Years. It covers a portion of Steven Spielberg's directing career, spanning chronologically from 1997's The Lost World: Jurassic Park through the present.
Summary
Griffin and David called this the biggest topic yet tackled by the show, in terms of scale and success. It is also the first time the podcast focused on a portion of a career - otherwise it's just too much and too big a career, even though the skipped portion features other "blank check" movie projects. The co-hosts reserved the right to go back and cover the rest of Spielberg's career at some point in the future but for the moment decided to limit the scope to a manageable amount.
Basically, by founding his own entire movie studio in 1997, DreamWorks Pictures, Steven Spielberg managed to issue himself the biggest blank check in history. A single director had never founded an entire studio before, but Spielberg did it. For a period of about eight years he was able to control every aspect of his own filmmaking, from production to direction right through to marketing and distribution. DreamWorks has since been sold a few times, spun off or shut down various arms of its business, and entered into film distribution agreements with different parties. It currently functions more or less as a scaled-back production company.
Even though Lost World: Jurassic Park and The BFG were not technically DreamWorks movies, the miniseries worked better with them as bookends - chronologically Lost World came out after a four-year break from directing, which offered a clean starting point after such a long hiatus. David noted that he looked at the miniseries as "Spielberg: post-Oscar." (Spielberg had finally won the Academy Award for Best Director for 1993's Schindler's List, after a notable nomination snub for 1975's Jaws had led to a career of aspiring to win it one day.)
This miniseries was preceded by the Podinator: Judgment Cast miniseries, on the films of James Cameron. It was followed by the The Pod Knight Casts miniseries, on the films of Christopher Nolan.
