Welcome to Hard Knocks Film School. This podcast is based on an ambitious chronological film list created by your hosts, Chloe and Tim. Starting from the birth of the art form, we will attempt to understand and appreciate each film, hopefully learning some film history along the way. Opening music by Ian Mahoney-Hoover
