Cinema Yugen Unplugged: Shooting the Breeze with Paul Rowlands Part 1

Host Kent Hill invites fellow cinephile Paul Rowlands into the studio for an unfiltered, laugh-lined conversation that wanders from the blockbuster battleground to the intimate corners of film history. Over coffee and candid asides they pick apart a divisive summer at the box office, question the fate of franchises, and trace how our movie-going rituals have changed. They leap from dinosaur islands and James Bond’s surprising fate to superhero reboots and the cult afterlives of forgotten ’80s gems, folding in personal anecdotes and on-set lore — including a moving, mischievous tribute to Terrence Stamp. Each topic becomes a mini-story, revealing not just films but the people and passions behind them. Part reflection, part film-school seminar, and all conversational charm, this episode invites listeners to sit back, remember why cinema mattered, and imagine how it might rise again. Tune in for part two to keep the conversation rolling. CHECK IT OUT: https://www.money-into-light.com/
