Episode 83

A point of conversation comes up at the end of this podcast, and I feel it bears repeating. My guest jokingly mentions that he wonders how many people will hear his handiwork, since the titles we discuss are all rather indie and likely lesser-seen. He raises a good point, since I know a lot of people skip episodes on films they haven’t seen (hence discussions on GINGER & ROSA or THE FP get lesser exposure. I respond by saying something I’m not sure I’ve expressed until right now – that it’s these sorts of films that interest me more as a podcaster, since they get less exposure and often prompt greater discussion. I mean, this weekend I could have been the 150th movie podcast talking about OBLIVION, but what can I bring to the table to set this conversation apart from the other 149? Further, what’s left to say about a blockbuster like OBLIVION? It is true that these sorts of episodes get less plays, but I’m hoping to slowly start reversing that. Who knows? It could make for a whole new direction for the show! Here’s what’s in store in episode eighty-three… Runtime 66 minutes Up for Discussion 1. Introduction 2.
