  • Excellent Classic film podcast

    Consistently excellent classic film podcast that covers festivals, restorations, books and revivals.

    Everything from silents to film noir.

    A lot of good interviews and profiles of people doing interesting things in classic film (and occasionally TV too).

  • Check your facts

    Your latest guest referred to a particular line that he said came from flying down to Rio. He misspoke. That line came from the film the gay divorce, 1934. I wish that guest speakers would make sure that they have their fax correct before appearing on a podcast.
