Hiatus and Whatnot
As is probably painfully obvious at this point, we’ve hit a indefinite slowdown in episodes as of late. Life (and careers!) have gotten busier, and as of now, the podcast needs to be on the proverbial back burner.
In the meantime, keep watching visual storytelling on all kinds of screens (but especially in the movie theaters). And talk about it with your friends. And maybe think about us every once in a while. Because we will certainly be thinking about those open-ended, unresolved conversations that we really have to get back to one day.
Episode #89: 2016 in Review
There has been . . . . an awakening.
The podcast returns to sort through the best (and worst) films and TV shows of 2016. Join us for subjective ranking, inconsistent judging standards, and just a few mini-fights. 2017, here we come!
