Everything Steven Soderbergh Watched and Read in 2018, Including His Forthcoming Netflix Projects

It has become a tradition for Steven Soderbergh to release a list of everything that he watched throughout the preceding year, encompassing feature films, television shows, and short films, and he certainly didn’t slow down his viewing habits at all this year, even if he maybe spent too much time watching the Winter Olympics in February last year.

Last year’s list from Steven Soderbergh features no less than nine viewings of Ocean’s 8, and since the movie didn’t come out until June 5, 2018, it should come as no surprise that he watched the movie another three times leading up to its release. Viewing of his own work also included a cut of the sports drama High Flying Bird, which was surprising since he watched it less than a month after production started. Also included is The Laundromat towards the end of the year, Soderbergh’s movie about The Panama Papers.

As for the rest of what Steven Soderbergh watched, you can find out more below.

Not even Steven Soderbergh can avoid getting sucked int Peak TV as he took the time to watch Atlanta, Better Call Saul, Maniac, Silicon Valley, Billions and a throwback to Absolutely Fabulous. He also took the time to check out Black Mirror: Bandersnatch, which I’d be interesting in hearing his reaction to, especially after he crafted a similar kind of audience-engaging project with Mosaic.

On the movie side of things, Soderbergh wrapped up the year with awards contenders like A Star Is Born (which inspired him to watch the documentary Lady Gaga: Five Foot Two), Roma, Widows, Vox Lux, If Beale Street Could Talk, BlacKkKlansman and more.

It’s also interesting to note that Soderbergh watched Ready Player One twice this year, and his first viewing inspired him to go back and watch Jurassic Park. Other blockbuster viewings included Mission: Impossible – Fallout and Crazy Rich Asians.

Anyway, here’s the full list of everything Steven Soderbergh watched in 2018 from his own website:
