About Cinema Spectator

From the publisher's feed

An ECFS Productions Original Podcast: Cinema Spectator is a film history podcast that takes away the pretense that usually comes along with learning about film. Each week, we tackle the "cinematic canon" to see how films hold up for a modern audience. Can legendary pictures entertain a casual who grew up on Spider-Man reboots and Jim Carrey movies, or will they forever be relics of a bygone era? Are they only for cinema loyalists?
