David Thomson, the author of The New Biographical Dictionary of Film, Have You Seen...?, Rosebud: The Story of Orson Welles, and many more, is one of the most prolific and influential writers about film and film history. He is also the favorite writer of Screen Drafts Legend Darren Franich. When the opportunity arose to speak with Mr. Thomson about his new book, A Sudden Flicker of Light, we insisted on taking it, and created a whole new show just to do so!
Please enjoy this very entertaining inaugural edition of The Sit-Down with Darren Franich, an as-needed venue for culture writer Darren Franich to have in-depth conversations with the most interesting minds in film and television.
David Thomson's A Sudden Flicker of Light: A Revisionist History of Movies is on bookshelves now!

Multi-hyphenate Hollywood legend Rob Reiner had a run of films from 1984 to 1995 that are amongst the best that America has ever produced. Many are defining examples of their genre. All are imbued with the wit and heart of their director. Ranking these 9 movies could very well be a fool's errand, but if so, we have just the fools for the job: The Screen Drafts Legends! Join Clay Keller, Ryan Marker, Billy Ray Brewton, Bryan Cogman, Darren Franich, Graham Skipper, Drea Clark, and Oriana Nudo as they attempt to rank, via competitive collaboration, THE REINER RUN.
The Legends will return in... MOVIES III: THE ROTTEN, only in the Screen Drafts Booster Club!
