213. What is Cinema in 2018? (with Jaq Chell and Abi Standish)

Inspired by a tweet from Mark Kermode, this episode is all about the changing face of cinema, and how we experience films in an age where the traditional cinematic experience is being replaced with something very different. Matt speaks to Jaq Chell and Abi Standish from Cinema for All, an organization which helps communities set up their own cinematic experiences outside of traditional theatrical exhibition. Ed and Matt also talk about the ways in which digital filming and distribution shape film culture, Scarlett Johansson's decision to play a trans character in an upcoming movie, and, of course, WORLD CUP FEVER. 00:00:00 - 00:30:08 - Intro & News 00:30:09 - 00:52:10 - Matt interviews Jaq Chell and Abi Standish 00:52:11 - 01:09:31 - Matt and Ed discuss Cinema in 2018 01:09:32 - 01:17:52 - SRS Recommends & Outro
