Until the End of the World (1991)

“Until the End of the World has greatly influenced me over the years, and I’m thankful for the opportunity to discuss it at Designers on Film. This movie—in its entirety—is nearly 5 hours long… after rewatching it, we discussed the many things it has to offer: science fiction, end of the world parties, globe trekking, design, exploratory digital interfaces, brain/dream recorders, and more.”

Purple Rain (1984)

“Designers On Film is not your average movie podcast. It covers the A–Z of film design, marketing collateral to ancillary media. The perfect platform to talk about Prince’s rock 'n' roll picture show!”

The Sword in the Stone (1963)

“If you like to nerd out on movies and design… it’s just designers talking about their favorite movies! Low stakes fun with some fun parallels between the two creative industries. It’s also very mellow, like an NPR show. Perfect relaxing vibes to design to.”
