Following Films Podcast: David Gordon Green on Nutcrackers

Today, we have an exceptional guest: the one and only, David Gordon Green. Known for his remarkable ability to hop between genres, David has delivered everything from gritty dramas to crowd-pleasing comedies and nail-biting horror remakes. Today, he’s here to talk about his latest film, Nutcrackers. Nutcrackers is a big, bold comedy that delivers on all fronts. Starring Ben Stiller, it’s a laugh-out-loud exploration of the chaos of parenting unruly nephews, all wrapped in a story filled with surprising emotional depth. Under David’s expert direction, the film strikes that elusive balance between absurd humor and heartfelt moments, scratching the itch for character-driven comedies that are as warm as they are hilarious. We’ll discuss the creative process behind Nutcrackers, how David approached blending over-the-top comedy with genuine heart, and why films like this are more important than ever. Nutcrackers will be available to stream on HULU on November 29th.
