January 28, 2020of Cinema vs. "Cinema"
This year on the podcast we bring up our thoughts up on film with a thesis from Malcolm. This with be how we look at films through out the episodes and cover new movies as well as old. Thesis: Cinema vs. "Cinema" and the impact of the blockbuster in the modern era. Basically, what do you consider film or "just entertainment"? Where is that line? Consider all the genre and what makes a movie better than another or higher art than another? We plan to break that down and decide for ourselves. We will also have criteria and a rating system. Each host will be bringing in their own films to debate and we will figure this out! Let us know what you think by giving a follow: SHOW NOTES SEND YOUR QUESTIONS: [email protected] OR Follow us on:
