Directors Cut Radio Show Transistor (https://transistor.fm) https://feeds.transistor.fm/directors-cut-radio-show Director’s Cut Radio is a weekly show about movies, pop culture, and whatever else we end up going off on that week. What started as a radio show airing on stations across the country has grown into a space for real conversations—whether that’s sitting down with actors, filmmakers, and celebrities, or just having friends drop by to talk movies and whatever’s on our radar. This page is where it all lives: interviews, clips, bits, and moments from a show that’s never been about staying in one lane. We travel, meet interesting people, and collect stories faster than we can always post them. We’ve been doing this long enough to admit we don’t always keep up with everything—but that’s part of it. This isn’t a perfectly curated archive. It’s a snapshot of a busy, creative, slightly chaotic life. If you’re here, you’re getting a slice of it. The rest… we’re still catching up on. 2005 c677f296-1722-5796-a6ca-1d0a8f9e8773 yes en Wed, 20 May 2026 11:46:22 -0600 Wed, 20 May 2026 11:47:47 -0600 http://DirectorsCutRadio.com https://img.transistorcdn.com/GgDJOuRBpMMS8sn3Xy7hbRE_N0I0pchnfSjOTvLJY2o/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:1400/h:1400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS80YzRh/NTJhYzJiN2FkMWY5/MDg2YTk2MjgwYjM3/NDdiYy53ZWJw.jpg Directors Cut Radio Show http://DirectorsCutRadio.com episodic Dan Gutierrez Director’s Cut Radio is a weekly show about movies, pop culture, and whatever else we end up going off on that week.

While working on the 2022 film Elvis, Luhrmann discovered dozens of boxes of long-lost concert footage hidden away for decades. With help from filmmaker Peter Jackson, the team restored the material and created something Luhrmann describes as a “cinematic poem”—part concert film, part immersive experience, and something entirely new.

Audiences are treating the screenings like a live show — cheering, dancing, and celebrating Elvis in a way that feels closer to a world tour the King never got to perform.

Dan and Baz discuss:

The discovery of rare Elvis concert footage

Restoring decades-old film for modern theaters

Why this isn’t a traditional documentary

Elvis’s humor, personality, and creative process

Why audiences are reacting like it’s a live concert

EPIC: Elvis Presley in Concert is now playing in theaters nationwide.
