A film projectionist and filmmaker go through every year in film history in order, one year at a time and 5+ films per year, from 1895 to present! Through our horrifically meticulous process, we are able to simulate the experience of someone seeing it for the first time in the year it came out. What new perspectives can be gleaned from seeing every classic in its original context? Listen to find out!
Why did Cinemascope stick and 3-D wane? Did Dr. Seuss write an under-sung musical? Is Ed Wood truly the worst director? Which sad Japanese drama won our hearts? Was Andy Warhol the Scary Movie of the fine arts? The answers to all these questions and more in 1953 - Wax House, Baby!
