What Is A Movie‪?‬ What Is A Movie?

It's high time for something New. Join us as we venture into a New season - nay, a New era - of What Is A Movie.

Today we Escape from New York and chat about pulp, plisskin, politics, and the joys of well-executed creative theft (lookin at you, Metal Gear Solid).

Welcome to: Season Four - The New Season

---

Going forward we'll be doing shorter, more frequent seasons. Same episode format but now we'll gather 5 films/episodes under some thematic banner (genre, director, title, etc.), take a brief break, and then return with a new season/theme.

Got an idea for a theme or a film we should cover?
