The Shape of Water

I hope...

I still haven't seen The Shape of Water.

Oh, that's really good.

Yeah, I need to watch it.

Great movie.

Sally Hawkins, The Shape of Water, was nominated.

Good actress in general.

And then Marlee Matlin won for Children of a Lesser God.

coda yeah no

coda with lesser god

right right the shape of water somehow won best picture no idea uh talk about that when we cover that as a worst best picture winner anton I remember when that happened.

I remember being baffled, baffled by that movie.

I hope...

I still haven't seen The Shape of Water.

Oh, that's really good.

Yeah, I need to watch it.

But then what do I know? Calculus? That's all.

Well, I saw a few new films.

He-Man, Masters of the Universe.

The Masters of the Universe film.

And you know what? I think that Leonardo DiCaprio has become one of the greatest actors of our generation.

He started off doing shit like Titanic and crap like that.

But in his latter years, some of the films he's done have just been outstanding.

Yeah.

they don't have the power to control their careers still at that point.

If you knew the amount of films that Del Toro put together, pitched, and got essentially thrown back in his face, or ghosted, or laughed at, even after winning his Oscar for Shape of Water, you realize that there's no top.

So at some point, it's like how...

I find with all those people, the ones that I liked working with and even people in the industry that I like working with, there's this weird mix of like loud curiosity and quiet confidence that they all shared.

We'll also meet the director, Matt Reeves, who will talk about the movie and why we get scared when we go to the movies.

Then we'll spend some time with horror maestro Guillermo del Toro, director of movies you love like the Academy Award-winning The Shape of Water, Pan's Labyrinth, The Devil's Backbone, Pacific Rim, and many, many more.

This is a conversation we had nine years ago, and we talk about why he's drawn to the horror genre, why children play such large roles in his films, and much, much more.

First though, if you are like me, you grew up going to midnight screenings of the Rocky Horror Picture Show.

iHeartRadio presents the soundtrack to your October.

From spooky podcasts and chilling playlists to non-stop Halloween radio and more, we have all the thrills and chills you're craving this season.

We're celebrating Halloween, and who better to spend some time with at this time of year than Guillermo del Toro, the Oscar-winning director of The Shape of Water.

Now, if you're a horror fan, you know his movies like Kronos, The Devil's Backbone, The Unforgettable Pan's Labyrinth, Mimic, Blade II, and there's so many more.
