<p>In the mid-90s, <strong>Tim Burton </strong>and <strong>Steven Spielberg </strong>were two of the most beloved directors in Hollywood. Spielberg was coming off his first Oscar for <strong>&quot;Schindler&#39;s List&quot; </strong>while Burton was riding the hot streak of <strong>Batman </strong>movies, &quot;<strong>Edward Scissorhands,&quot; &quot;Beetlejuice&quot; </strong>and the Oscar-winning <strong>&quot;Ed Wood.&quot;</strong> Burton&#39;s luck ran out with his first critical and financial bomb, <strong>&quot;Mars Attacks!&quot; </strong>featuring a stacked ensemble of actors like <strong>Jack Nicholson, Glenn Close, Natalie Portman, Pierce Brosnan </strong>and <strong>Sarah Jessica Parker. </strong>Meanwhile, Spielberg followed up the massive success of <strong>&quot;Jurassic Park&quot; </strong>with his first sequel <strong>&quot;The Lost World,&quot; </strong>bringing <strong>Jeff Goldblum </strong>back to the franchise with rising stars <strong>Vince Vaughn </strong>and <strong>Julianne Moore </strong>in tow.</p> <p>Musician and writer <strong>Devon Hansen </strong>joins the podcast for the first time to discuss the nostalgia of <strong>&quot;Mars Attacks!&quot; </strong>and Burton&#39;s fall from grace. In the second half of the episode, cinematographer <strong>Matthew Hayes </strong>returns to the podcast for a look back at Spielberg&#39;s 50 year career and how he phoned it in with <strong>&quot;The Lost World.&quot;</strong></p> <p>You can find <strong>Devon</strong> on <a href="https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=2ahUKEwjQ6qipxOWAAxVQJUQIHa1sCnAQFnoECA0QAQ&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.instagram.com%2Fd__hansen%2F%3Fhl%3Den&usg=AOvVaw09ZCc30ynK70kDIW4OABLt&opi=89978449"><strong>Instagram</strong></a> and <a href="https://idioms.bandcamp.com/"><strong>Bandcamp</strong></a> and <strong>Matthew </strong>at his <a href="https://www.matthay.es/"><strong>official website.</strong></a></p>
