Once there was a time when movies ruled the Earth and your local cinema reigned supreme as the beating heart of popular culture. During this same era of cinematic dominance, circumstance and creativity would occasionally collide to create a string of films so classic and so memorable that we had to give them a name (and a podcast): PEAK MOVIES. Join hosts Scott Rognlien and Eric Normington, and a cavalcade of special guests, for our inaugural season as we curate and celebrate an entire year of unforgettable feature films — IN ORDER and AS THEY HAPPENED — so listeners both young and old might learn to properly appreciate the peak that was PEAK MOVIES: 1985.
