On today's episode we look back on the legacy of Gene Hackman, one of the greatest actors of all time, who passed away in recent weeks.

I will be offering you my thoughts and memories of the movies of Gene Hackman, when I first saw them and my thoughts not only on the films themselves, but on Hackman's performances in those roles, and why he was so important in making the films what they were.

So if listening to me waffle on about one of my favourite actors and the films I love him being in is of any interest to you, then press play and let's get moving.

That's the agenda on today's episode of Death By Multimedia, the podcast that never seems to find a way to stop talking about non essential things.
