  • Makes watching movies fun!

    Deep dives on old movies (mostly) with insights from a rotating and diverse set of academic guests. Your host is extremely keen, asks great questions, and allows the guests to go deep while keeping the conversation moving. One of the other reviewers here seemed to be commenting on a different show: there isn’t any detectable critique from any particular dogmatic perspective, just folks talking intelligently about monsters and aliens in film, along with interesting historical context.
