Forbidden Films Wayne Kramer and Barry Germansky Hosted by writer-director Wayne Kramer (The Cooler, Running Scared) and producer Barry Germansky (Marlowe, Riff Raff), Forbidden Films is a podcast about the movies they won't make anymore.Each week, Wayne and Barry take a deep dive into a once critically regarded film or commercial success that by today's regressive standards is now deemed either problematic or unlikely to ever be made again in the same way.
