Director Max Winkler Talks 'Jungleland,' Working With Charlie Hunnam & Lazer Tag [The Playlist Podcast]

Following the spirited debate of three releases we hope helped add some spookiness to your quarantined Halloween festivities this year, our three hosts of The Playlist Podcast have returned for another episode of quality film discussion.

LISTEN: Celebrating Halloween With ‘The Craft: Legacy,’ ‘Spell,’ & ‘Kindred’ [The Playlist Podcast]

This week’s highlight comes from none other than an interview with Max Winkler, director of the newly-released “Jungleland” (set for limited theatrical release November 6 and VOD on November 10), who shed some incredible insight as to the making of the film, his work with the excellent cast (led by Charlie Hunnam, Jack O’Connell, and Jessica Barden), and possible ideas for how to incorporate Lazer Tag into his work. It was a pleasure to have him, and hopefully, you’ll enjoy his thoughts as much as we enjoyed our conversation with a man poised for further greatness.

Additionally, words are shared about “Let Him Go” (set for release on November 6), the latest effort from stars Kevin Costner and Diane Lane, who last shared the screen in 2013’s “Man of Steel.” “Let Him Go” finds the duo traipsing about a rural part of America as they attempt to rescue their grandson from the clutches of their daughter-in-law’s extended, dangerous off-grid family. Hijinks ensue, and we’re here to discuss every one of them!

With a few added words on our picks for the week, this is absolutely an episode all will enjoy-be sure to check it out and continue to stay safe out there!
