'The Shape of Water' (2017), Written by Guillermo Del Toro & Vanessa Taylor
Best Original Podcast
I talked about how the delightful, fevered romance that is ‘The Shape of Water’ honors and inverts the fairytale genre—and how it might be set in the same cinematic universe as ‘Hairspray’ (2007). You’re going to learn more about fairytales than you ever wanted to know. Sorry for that! 3 films down, 392 to go.

14. Guillermo del Toro
Latinx Lens
In this episode of Latinx Lens Catherine and Rosa look into the filmography of Guillermo del Toro. One of the most acclaimed directors currently working in Hollywood, del Toro is responsible for the existence of many beloved films. In this episode they take a look at his first three directed feature films. CRONOS (1993) Guillermo del Toro’s directorial debut is a strong introduction into the imagination of this Oscar winning director. Follows a man who becomes obsessed with an ancient scarab that gives him youth. It’s an intriguing look of familial relationships, religious symbolism, and a bold interpretation of a monster. THE DEVIL'S BACKBONE (2001) This second film visits a historical time in Spain. Taking place in an orphanage, this film depicts the spoils of war. A group of children who become orphans as a result of the war become frightened with the presence of a ghost roaming the area. Again, an intriguing depiction of monsters. PAN'S LABYRINTH (2006) Perhaps his most well known film that’s also critically acclaimed. Follows Ofelia post Spanish Civil war and her discovery of a fantastical magical labyrinth. Latinx Lens Recommends: MACARIO (1960) The first Mexican film to be nominated for an Academy Award in the Foreign (International) category. Macario is a peasant who’s faced with a difficult decision when 3 deities ask him to share his food. Please Rate, Review & Subscribe wherever you listen to podcasts!

#19: Guillermo del Toro Films
Film Fragments
On episode 19, Bryan welcomes Brett der Wiese to discuss their favorite films directed by Guillermo del Toro. The acclaimed Mexican filmmaker's work has been characterized by a connection to horror and fairy tales, while incorporating a visually poetic feeling towards them. His appreciation for monsters, practical special effects and religious imagery has been widely appreciated. Having tackled independent dramas like "Cronos" and "The Devil's Backbone" to blockbuster tentpoles like the "Hellboy" films and "Pacific Rim", it wasn't until 2018 when del Toro won his first Academy Award for directing the romantic fantasy "The Shape of Water". His career continues going in fascinating directions and we don't see it going sour for quite some time.FOLLOW THE SHOW:Facebook - facebook.com/FilmFragmentsTwitter - twitter.com/filmfragmentspcInstagram - www.instagram.com/filmfragmentspodcast/Anchor - anchor.fm/film-fragmentsFOLLOW BRETT:Twitter - https://twitter.com/WeZ_LUiGiBlog - http://brettroculture.blogspot.com/--- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app
