A movie analysis show looking at your favorite cult and genre films from across cinema history. Each week, Dustin, Arthur, and Dalton try to apply academic rigor and critical analysis to the films you wouldn’t talk about in a film studies class while having a few laughs along the way. It’s the conversations you have in the lobby of the multiplex with a little more room to breathe, and the occasional footnote. Stay tuned to the feed for bonus episodes on new releases.

Hello friends! We're starting a new marathon that we're going to be calling Meta May! You can find out why in this week's episode! And to kick start this podcast series about movies about movies, we're looking back at Robert Altman's 1992 satirical look at Hollywoodland, The Player. It's a little bit of a thriller. But, it's also a comedy. And, oh yeah, it has some satire. And sure, it's got some big names attached. But, is it worth analyzing? We talk about style, Hollywood, meta movies, and much, much more as we kick start our Meta May marathon. Join us now!
