- Blockbuster is a 2019 original dramatic podcast created by Matt Schrader detailing the friendship and rise of early Steven Spielberg and George Lucas in 1970s Hollywood. The series is structured like a biopic film in the years before Spielberg and Lucas came to prominence as they struggled to complete Jaws (1975) and Star Wars (1977), as well as Close Encounters (1977). It also follows the rise of composer John Williams in the years following the death of his wife, when he earned his first Academy Awards for his original scores. The series stars Ray Chase, Max Mittelman, Matthew Bohrer, Lex Lang and Julia McIlvaine, and is narrated by Schrader, an Emmy Award-winning investigative journalist and documentary filmmaker. The series was announced April 11 in The Hollywood Reporter, and became a Top 10 series on Apple Podcasts during its initial release. Notably, Blockbuster forgoes traditional in-episode advertisements for a more immersive experience, and instead asks listeners to consider voluntarily supporting the production via its own website. Blockbuster was received with positive reviews. (en)
