Matinee To Midnight –a Podcast for Big Screen Enthusiasts
The podcast is for film enthusiasts of all ages who not only enjoy film but love and appreciate the cinema-going experience. The show revisits and celebrates classic cinema, reappraises movies that may have been misunderstood or unfairly maligned and aims to uncover hidden gems. Each show will have a specific topic (e.g. a genre, time period, actor, director) and will use the device of programming a fantasy repertory cinema to select the films to be discussed.
