Customer Reviews
A Better Film Criticism
The podcast offers a different kind of film criticism. Instead of reducing movies to entertainment, or a reflection of "the times", or an opportunity to pontificate on some literary theory, Titus takes cinema seriously as a form of poetry which, at its peak, is closer to great literature than an ephemeral novel. In other words, cinema is entertaining and educative. The podcast itself, while being educative, does not suffer from an academic tone and therefore remains entertaining. You will learn substantive things about America and human nature. I won't say it's easy listening, for Titus can be obscure (without being abstract), but the depth of discussion matches the depth of its subject, if you can believe it. Highly Recommend
