Lions, Towers & Shields

4: What to Watch Now

Listen Later

Classic films, by definition, are comfort food, or at least, they’re escapist entertainment. Our panel picks films they love, and want to watch right now, as we confront a lot of time indoors during the coronavirus pandemic.

We draft the classics in a time of isolation.

Shelly Brisbin with Philip Michaels, Jean MacDonald, Erika Ensign and Nathan Alderman
