The writer and director Michael Sarnoski says that before he said yes to directing the spinoff A Quiet Place: Day One, he had to be certain he could bring something personal to the franchise world created by John Krasinski. On this week's episode he tells Katey Rich how he did just that, and found remarkable box office success in the process.  But before that, The Ringer's Joanna Robinson joins Katey Rich for our first Oscar flashback, celebrating the 35th anniversary of sex lies and videotape and the indie film boom it inspired. Joanna and Katey look back at Steven Soderbergh's autobiographical inspirations, the performances that hold up the best, and why the Oscars weren't quite ready for this movie, even if they would be now.
