Conversational movie analysis from a multidisciplinary artist perspective. I explore films through philosophical, artistic, and personal lenses - from indie gems to classic Hollywood, plus the occasional rant about the movie-going experience itself. Whether it's unpacking the deeper meaning in Lost in Translation or explaining why Castaway's ending hits different, these are authentic discussions for film lovers who think beyond the surface. New episodes every Saturday.
