A Podcast for the old movie lover and those who want to fall in love with classic cinema. Hi, I'm Brian. I am a millennial old movie nerd who loves to look at classic cinema through the lens of a modern eye. Each episode myself and a guest of any age will get together, watch a film made anywhere between the silent era and the year 1980, and then my guest and I discuss the facts of the movie, the movie, and then decide why or why not said movie holds up. If you love old movies and love hearing a non binary feminine millennial express their love for old movies, you will love this podcast too.
