Sav Rodgers

Sav Rodgers is a filmmaker, screenwriter, and pop culture documentarian whose feature directorial debut Chasing Chasing Amy (2024) explores the complicated legacy of Chasing Amy (1997) and its profound impression on his life.

We dive deep into the problem of the “problematic,” joined by special guest Sav Rodgers, whose 2023 documentary Chasing Chasing Amy dives deep into his relationship with Kevin Smith’s problematic 1997 “lesbian falls for a straight guy” rom-com.

We dig into the problematic films we hate and the problematic films we love anyway. We talk about Chasing Amy, about the usefulness of outrage, and how to preserve our cinematic past without throwing out everything that offends.
