Showbiz: Amateur Adventures in Film Studies

About Showbiz: Amateur Adventures in Film Studies

We've been told these are important movies. Integral movies. The movies that you NEED to see in order to understand what film is all about. We have been told that to know sh*t about film, you need to know these movies. Join Biz and Kirsty, two amateur film enthusiasts, as they watch, critique, and discuss films from The Criterion Collection and BFI Top 250 to decide if, in our humble opinion, these films are hot sh*t or hot garbage. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy (https://acast.com/privacy) for more information.
