In this podcast, we plan on discussing the films of Roger Ebert's seminal film essay collection The Great Movies. We aim to review each movie in individual episode discussions and bringing our opinions and Ebert's writing to the forefront. We will finish each episode with a thumbs up/thumbs down reaction and a rating out of four stars. We also hope to bring you intermittent current event episodes discussion favorite new movies of the past month or two.
