We finish this inter-season with a HUGE topic, chosen by one of our VIPs on Patreon. Documentaries cover an enormous range of subjects and topics. Some documentaries are even heralded as important records of life and human history. And sometimes, they're about how long you can keep your hand on a truck or who's the best Donkey Kong player! Stay tuned to the very end to hear our announcements for s...

While there's no clear hierarchy, there is a sort of understanding or perception that the director is the top job on a film set. So, naturally, it's no surprise that many actors find themselves drawn to the role. But why? Is it to live out a power fantasy? To get an under represented story told? Or is it the chance to direct the greatest talent of all: themselves? This week, we try to answer these...

We've discussed video game movies but this week it's a little different. Today we're talking about the relationship between movies and video games through how video games appear on film.

Check out our vari...

The cultural and cinematic footprint of the Second World War is huge, spanning every decade since the war began, crossing genres and national borders, and producing everything from critically-acclaimed epics to exploitative schlock.

Short films feel like an outlier in the film industry: a style of storytelling that almost every filmmaker has experimented with but they're rarely given the credit or platform they deserve.
