Carlos De La Torre
For all Cinema lovers out there, tune in! The WatchTower Podcast is a new podcast presented by Tower Productions' TowerCast Network. This show focuses on discussing and reviewing films that make the art of Cinema great!
Spooky Month continues—curated by our very own Horror Expert, Erik Sanchez—and this week we’re diving headfirst into one of the most iconic horror films ever made: William Friedkin’s The Exorcist.
We talk terror, tension, and theology as we explore how this 1973 masterpiece redefined horror, shocked audiences, and still manages to unsettle half a century later. From its chilling performances to its haunting realism, The Exorcist proves that true horror never fades—it just gets louder.
Grab your crucifixes, dim the lights, and prepare to be possessed by cinema’s most enduring nightmare.
Spooky Month has officially begun at The WatchTower Film Podcast—and this time, our very own Horror Expert Erik Sanchez is curating the chills.
We’re starting off strong (and bloodthirsty) with Robert Eggers’ Nosferatu, a haunting reimagining of the silent-era classic. We dive into Eggers’ gothic atmosphere, the timeless allure of the vampire myth, and how this version sinks its teeth into modern horror while honoring its eerie roots.
Old fangs, new nightmares—welcome to Spooky Month.
We’re closing out our Paul Thomas Anderson series with The Master, a haunting exploration of faith, control, and broken souls.
From Joaquin Phoenix’s raw and unhinged performance to Philip Seymour Hoffman’s commanding presence and Amy Adams’ chilling quiet power, we dive deep into why this film feels like one of PTA’s most enigmatic and enduring works.
As PTA month comes to an end, we reflect on the journey through his filmography—capped off with a film that lingers long after the credits roll.
Intense, unsettling, and unforgettable—PTA at his most powerful.
From the rise and fall of Boogie Nights to the sprawling chaos of Magnolia, from the quirky heart of Punch-Drunk Love to the operatic greed of There Will Be Blood, from the hometown pride of One Battle After Another to the haunting intensity of The Master—our month with Paul Thomas Anderson has been as bold, strange, and unforgettable as the films themselves. PTA Month may be ending, but the brilliance lingers long after the credits roll.
This week on The WatchTower Film Podcast, we take a detour in our Paul Thomas Anderson series for something extra special: an early screening of One Battle After Another, filmed right here in El Paso, TX.
Not only do we share our first impressions of the film, but we also dive into our personal stories from set—including that unforgettable test shoot adventure. From behind-the-scenes memories to seeing it all come together on screen, this episode gives you a rare inside look at PTA’s newest work before its wide release.
Consider this a sneak peek into the battles, the brilliance, and the hometown pride of PTA’s latest.

Our Paul Thomas Anderson series hits its towering centerpiece with There Will Be Blood—a ruthless tale of ambition, greed, and the cost of power.
We break down Daniel Day-Lewis’ legendary turn as Daniel Plainview, Paul Dano’s dual role showdown, and PTA’s epic vision of America built on oil and obsession. This is PTA at his most brutal and operatic—a film as vast and unforgiving as the land itself.
All of this is part of our countdown to his newest film, One Battle After Another, shot right here in El Paso, TX.
Greed, oil, religion—and one unforgettable milkshake.
Our PTA series rolls on with Magnolia, Paul Thomas Anderson’s wild, sprawling epic of love, regret, coincidence, and—yes—raining frogs.
We dive into the film’s interwoven stories, the powerhouse ensemble cast (Tom Cruise, Julianne Moore, Philip Seymour Hoffman, and more), and why this chaotic tapestry of life remains one of PTA’s boldest statements.
As we count down to his newest film One Battle After Another, filmed right here in El Paso, TX, we’re celebrating how PTA captures both the mess and the beauty of human connection—even when the sky is literally falling.
We’re kicking off our final Auteur Series of the year with none other than Paul Thomas Anderson—a director whose newest film, One Battle After Another, was filmed right here in our hometown of El Paso, TX.
And we’re starting big—with Boogie Nights, PTA’s breakout epic of sex, excess, and found family in the ‘70s adult film industry. We break down its unforgettable performances, killer soundtrack, and why this film announced PTA as one of the greats.
It’s flashy, it’s messy, it’s heartfelt, and it’s the perfect way to kick off our PTA celebration.
The Brow Month comes to a roaring, chaotic close with The Wolf of Wall Street, Martin Scorsese’s three-hour carnival of excess, corruption, and quaaludes.
We dive into DiCaprio’s unhinged performance, Jonah Hill’s teeth, Margot Robbie’s breakout role, and why this film feels like Marty cutting loose in the wildest way possible. It’s loud, it’s offensive, it’s hilarious, and it’s undeniably Scorsese.
We also want to note that our good friend Carlos M. De La Torre wasn’t able to join us for this episode—he was missed at the table (and probably would’ve had the best Belfort impression).
It’s been one hell of a month, and we’re closing it out at full throttle.
The Brow Month takes a surprising (and elegant) turn as we dive into The Age of Innocence, Martin Scorsese’s lush adaptation of Edith Wharton’s tale of love, restraint, and high-society daggers hidden behind polite smiles.
This week, we unpack Scorsese’s meticulous eye for detail, the heartbreaking performances from Daniel Day-Lewis, Michelle Pfeiffer, and Winona Ryder, and why this “costume drama” still bleeds with the same intensity as his gangster films.
Less blood, more lace—but make no mistake, Marty’s still cutting deep.
The Brow Month rolls on as we head back to where it all started—Mean Streets, Martin Scorsese’s gritty, raw, and deeply personal dive into the New York underworld. This is Scorsese before the Oscars, before the epics—just restless energy, street-level drama, and a young De Niro already stealing scenes.
We break down the film’s rough-edged charm, the Catholic guilt simmering under the surface, and how Mean Streets planted the seeds for everything from Goodfellas to The Irishman.
It’s messy, it’s loud, it’s pure Scorsese—and the brows are already in full power mode.
This week on The WatchTower Film Podcast, we’re officially launching The Brow Month—our deep dive into the wild, legendary world of Martin Scorsese. And there’s no better place to start than Goodfellas—the mob movie that redefined the genre (and the tracking shot).
We break down the film’s electric style, unforgettable characters, cocaine-fueled chaos, and why Scorsese’s fingerprints are all over modern cinema. From freeze frames to mob betrayals, it’s fast, funny, brutal, and endlessly rewatchable.
Just don’t ask how many takes the Copacabana shot took. We’re talkin’ here.
We’re closing out Nolan Month on The WatchTower Film Podcast with his most explosive film yet—Oppenheimer. And to honor the occasion (or punish ourselves), we brought on special guests Carlos Corral and Alan Borunda and challenged the whole crew to take on The Bomb—yes, that Hot Ones sauce.
Spoiler: it did not go well.
In between gulps of milk and fits of regret, we actually do manage to unpack Nolan’s epic biopic—its towering performances, tense structure, moral weight, and why Cillian Murphy might’ve just delivered the performance of the decade.
It’s heavy. It’s hilarious. It’s painfully hot. Tune in.
This week on The WatchTower Film Podcast, Nolan Month dives into the dreamscape with Inception—the movie that launched a thousand theories (and maybe a few existential crises).
We talk spinning tops, hallway fights, emotional anchors, and how Christopher Nolan somehow turned corporate espionage into a mind-bending meditation on grief and memory. Is Cobb awake? Did it all happen? And how exactly do you explain this movie to your parents?
Join us as we go deeper, level by level, into one of Nolan’s most iconic films. No totem required.

Are you watching closely?
This week on the Tower Productions Podcast, we unravel the cinematic magic trick that is The Prestige — Christopher Nolan’s dark, twisting tale of obsession, illusion, and the cost of greatness.
🎩 Our roundtable of real-life filmmakers — producers, DPs, gaffers, actors, and writers — dive deep into the mechanics behind one of the most mind-bending films of the 2000s. From the meticulous structure (setup, turn, prestige!) to Wally Pfister’s moody cinematography and the layered performances by Hugh Jackman and Christian Bale, we explore how this film deceives you… and why you love being fooled.
🧠 Why does this movie hit harder on the second (or third) watch? What makes Nolan’s nonlinear storytelling so addictive? And how does David Bowie as Nikola Tesla somehow not steal the entire film?
If you’re into secret twists, unreliable narrators, and the behind-the-scenes wizardry of cinematic misdirection — this one’s for you.
Wes is out, and time is broken—because Nolan Month has officially begun on The WatchTower Film Podcast! We're starting with Memento, the twisty neo-noir thriller that introduced the world to Christopher Nolan’s obsession with structure, memory, and reality.
We dive into reverse timelines, unreliable narrators, and why Leonard Shelby might be the saddest tough guy in cinema. If you haven’t seen it, watch it twice—once backward, once forward.
Just don’t forget to hit play.

This week on The WatchTower Film Podcast, we’re closing out Wes Anderson Month with his most Wes Anderson-y film yet: The French Dispatch. It’s a layered love letter to journalism, artistry, revolution, and really good mustaches.
We break down the film’s anthology structure, dive into its obsessive detail, and gush over how a movie this chaotic can still feel so heartbreakingly precise. From prison chefs to student revolutions, we cover every ink-stained corner of this cinematic magazine.
Fold your newspaper just right and join us for one last symmetrical spin through Wes World.
This week on the Tower Productions Podcast, we’re checking our emotional baggage (and 11 matching Louis Vuitton suitcases) and hopping aboard The Darjeeling Limited — Wes Anderson’s oddly tender, deeply symmetrical, and wildly underrated story about three brothers, one train, and a whole lot of unresolved trauma.
🚂 Join our dysfunctional family of filmmakers — a producer, DP, actor, gaffer, and screenwriter — as we unpack every frame of this pastel-tinted pilgrimage across India. Is Darjeeling secretly Anderson’s most soulful work? Or just a really well-dressed midlife crisis? Either way, we’ve got takes.
From the perfectly framed long shots and slow-motion struts to the raw undercurrent of grief, detachment, and spiritual wanderlust, this one’s a deep dive into the weird beauty of family drama told Wes-style — quirky, controlled, and just a little bit chaotic.
🎬 We talk blocking on a moving train, handheld vs dolly, symbolism-heavy luggage, Owen Wilson’s nose bandage, and how this film quietly breaks the rules without ever raising its voice.
If you’ve ever wanted to hear working filmmakers overanalyze a short film within a film (Hotel Chevalier, anyone?), this is the episode for you.

This week on the Tower Productions Podcast, the crew unpacks Wes Anderson’s The Royal Tenenbaums — a dysfunctional family drama wrapped in pastel suits, deadpan delivery, and perfectly symmetrical shots.
🎬 From Anderson’s meticulous production design to the unforgettable performances by Gene Hackman, Gwyneth Paltrow, and Ben Stiller, we dive into what makes this film a cult classic and a masterclass in auteur storytelling.
As working filmmakers — producers, DPs, actors, writers, and more — we’re breaking down the visual language, narrative structure, and hidden pain behind the quirky facade.
💡 Whether you're a filmmaker, screenwriter, or a Wes Anderson fan, this is your behind-the-scenes look at one of the most iconic indie films of the 2000s.
Wes Anderson’s Rushmore isn’t your typical high school comedy. It’s a perfectly symmetrical deep dive into ambition, heartbreak, and the theatrical chaos of being 15 going on 50. Max Fischer is a blazer-wearing prodigy who’s good at everything except school, emotional boundaries, and knowing when to stop writing plays about Vietnam.
In this video, we break down why Rushmore is still one of the most original coming-of-age films ever made — from its dry wit and deadpan performances to that iconic British Invasion soundtrack and Wes Anderson’s signature style taking shape for the first time.

This week on The WatchTower Film Podcast, we take a perfectly centered dive into The Phoenician Scheme, the newest pastel-drenched mystery from Wes Anderson. It’s got spies, sand dunes, surreal subplots—and yes, plenty of deadpan dialogue delivered with unnerving precision.
Join us as we untangle the plot (kind of), obsess over symmetrical shots, and debate whether this is peak Wes or just another charming fever dream in corduroy.
Grab your typewriter, adjust your bowtie, and tune in—it’s going to get delightfully convoluted.

Fincher Month gets viciously domestic with Gone Girl—the chilling, twist-heavy thriller that turned relationship goals into red flags. This week, we dive into Amy Dunne’s villainy/genius, Nick’s mediocrity, and Fincher’s surgical approach to modern marriage and media spectacle.

We’re kicking off our 5-month Auteur Series on The WatchTower Film Podcast, and first up is none other than David Fincher. What better way to start than with Fight Club—a stylish, brutal, and endlessly debated classic that made soap cool and toxic masculinity cinematic.

First rule of Fincher Month? You absolutely talk about it.
