Sinopsis
The 1960s was a fascinating time in history... and a hugely interesting time in cinema. This podcast is a look back at the films of the past (beginning in the 60's)- one at a time. We're revisiting classics and we're also tackling some of those movies we always meant to watch but never did. Expect conversation about Kubrik, Hitchcock, Fellini, Disney and much much more.Each episode will also include some of our trademark features such as Recastarama (where we recast the film using current actors) and Who Am I (where we work out who we would be in the film).
