Jeff Nichols was just at the Telluride Film Festival last weekend for the world premiere of his upcoming film, “The Bikeriders.” And while he was there, the director hopped on the “Happy Sad Confused” podcast to talk about his new movie, failed pitches for projects like “Aquaman,” and other topics.

It’s been seven long years since Jeff Nichols dropped “Midnight Special” and “Loving” on moviegoers back in 2016.
