We're Paul and Luca, a father-and-son duo of film fanatics! Paul has around 50 years film appreciation experience and noted down every film he saw before the existence of such things as Letterbox'd!
Luca is a second year University student taking Film Studies and Screenwriting.
We'll chat about films from the Past, the Present, and the Future (no DeLorean involved!) and at the end, we'll each set the other some "Homework" of a film to go and watch, then report back at the start of the next episode.
Join us to hear all about the latest movies, the classic movies, and the movies yet to come!
