About Cinema Spectator

An ECFS Productions Original Podcast: Cinema Spectator is a film history podcast that takes away the pretense that usually comes along with learning about film. Each week, we tackle the "cinematic canon" to see how films hold up for a modern audience. Can legendary pictures entertain a casual who grew up on Spider-Man reboots and Jim Carrey movies, or will they forever be relics of a bygone era? Are they only for cinema loyalists? Cinema Spectator is a movie podcast hosted by Isaac Ransom, Juzo Greenwood, and Cameron Tuttle. The show is executive produced by Darrin O’Neill and recorded & produced in the San Francisco Bay Area, CA. You can support the show at patreon.com/ecfsproductions (http://patreon.com/ecfsproductions). Follow us on YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter under ECFS Productions (@ecfsproductions). Isaac and Cameron started recording podcasts with their first project, Everything Comes from Something (2018), and are now focusing on new weekly content for Cinema Spectator. Cameron Tuttle is a full-time professional cinematographer who majored in film at SFSU and collaborates on corporate, private, and creative productions. Cameron is the expert. Isaac Ransom works full-time as a marketing leader, with creative experience in brand, advertising, product, music, and film. Isaac is the casual. Juzo is a producer, director, and avid film enthusiast who knows everything about cinema. The podcast is a passion project by three longtime friends; we hope you enjoy it in the limited time we have! Thank you for your time, your generosity, and support.

[…] And it has a, like an energy to it. Um, that was unusual for a movie of its budget and of its, you know, size. It's very skillful. Like watching again, I'm like, he, he has an eye. He has, he knows how to like, and he's doing some of those moves, like the camera through the forest and all that stuff. Yeah. He's doing a version of that in that first movie. Um, but it just feels like he and Campbell are both operating at like 75% of what they can do. And, and evil did too, is just a being like, here's, we're just going to throw everything at the wall, you know?
