Rear Projection Podcast
by Rear Projection Podcast
Each week, hosts Mike and Scott discuss a well-known family movie and highlight the more disturbing, kid-unfriendly themes and aspects. If you're looking for a movie review covering dialogue, character analysis, use of colours, camera techniques, mood, tone and symbolism, you've come to the wrong place. However, if you're after an hour or so's worth of two overgrown children laughing at their own knob gags, get comfy and hit play. If there's a movie you're dying for us to cover, or you want to get in touch with us for any other reason, drop us an email at [email protected]
