Film-Ed Weekly Viewing Diary Film-Ed

- TV & Film
We explore film. We feel most critics don't, that most critics try to cage and define movies as "good" or "bad". We think there's more to it than that. We want to open movies up, reveal them. To that end, we've made a film podcast with an educational twist. Perfect for film lovers and film makers, creative writers, too. Three parts. 1. Major, 30-min discussion of a single movie. 2. Briefer sub-discussions on other movies watched during the week. 3. answer questions, list contest, random award, and pop culture discussion. We want you to participate! The movies we discuss are user-generated, as are the questions and the lists. So join in. Or just listen. We'll try our best to make this enjoyable. @modig_liani @mort_granville
