Hey all,
First time poster, and I had to jump on quick before work, so I apologize if this was already covered since I didn't sift through the 9 pages before first.
Paul mentioned on the episode that Neveldine and Taylor have gone their separate ways in the past couple of years, and that we will finally get to see which of the two drove things over the top, and which one filled the movies with tits. The first of these two has been answered with their IMDB pages.
Mark Neveldine directed the The Vatican Tapes in 2015, a rather run-of-the-mill attempt at an Exorcism horror film that didn't fair too well with critics.
Meanwhile Brian Taylor has a movie coming out next year, starring Nic Cage, called Mom and Dad. Here is the description from IMDb. "A teenage girl and her little brother must survive a wild 24 hours during which a mass hysteria of unknown origins causes parents to turn violently on their own kids."
Suffice it to say, Taylor is definitely the "maximalist" of the two, as Jason put it. While The Vatican Tapes did not prove Neveldine was specifically responsible for the amounts of nudity in Gamer, it could instead hint at a relationship between the two in which Neveldine lays out the initial story concepts for their movies, to which Taylor would inject the coke-fueled-sideshow aesthetic that they are known for.
