Movie Musing episodes
- Ep. 30: Hell or High Water: Who's the Real Villain?Hell or High Water is a great modern Western that asks some truly thought-provoking questions... and it's also a lot of fun. The most interesting element, however, is that every character is a victim and there isn't a clear villain. Listen to us breakdown why it's so compelling and a unique genre blend.Film News - 0:33Hell or High Water - 5:51Guess the Rotten Tomatoes Score - 38:14Music courtesy of Vernon West :www.facebook.com/vernonwestmusic/@vernonwestmusicwww.cdbaby.com/cd/vernonwest1Contact:medium.com/movie-musingtwitter.com/moviemusingpodfacebook.com/moviemusingmoviemusing.com@moviemusing(Recorded February 9, 2017)46 min

- Short Clip: 'Revenge of the Sith' vs 'The Force Awakens'In this lost segment from our 'Rogue One' episode, Quentin argues that 'The Revenge of the Sith' is a better Star Wars film than 'The Force Awakens'.

They dive into the general features and structure of the series as well as highlight some favorite episodes to check out.

About Movie Musing
From the publisher's feed
Movie Musing is a film podcast for discussing and debating current and classic cinema (and sometimes TV). Co-hosts Quentin, Demetrios, & Matt hope to share some knowledge of film and to find…
people with unique perspectives- this way we can learn more about the world of movies and what movies can tell us about the real world. The analysis is clean but not always conventional.
