Cinema Spectator

An ECFS Productions Original Podcast: Cinema Spectator is a film history podcast that takes away the pretense that usually comes along with learning about film. Each week, we tackle a "classic" of film history but do these films actually hold up for a modern audience? Can they entertain someone who grew up on Spider-Man reboots and Jim Carrey movies, or will they forever be relics of a bygone era?

    The Grapes of Wrath (1940)

    We're going back to classic movies this week, and spending some time with John Ford. The Grapes of Wrath (1940) is based on the 1938 Steinbeck novel and follows a group of rural Oklahomans as they search for a better life in the west. Henry Fonda stars as Tom Joad, a former prisoner trying to better his life and take care of his family. Will Isaac like this movie, or will it be a snooze-fest for him?   Cinema Spectator is a movie podcast hosted by Isaac Ransom and Cameron Tuttle, with frequent appearances from film expert Juzo Greenwood.

    Ford v Ferrari (2019)

    Ford v Ferrari is an excellent film about the struggles between artistry and success. On the surface, it can be taken as a unique and beautiful action-racing movie, but lurking underneath are themes of friendship, the politics of navigating a massive corporation, and the ecstasy of success. Ford v Ferrari is a pure joy to watch, and an even more interesting movie to think about once you've already seen it.   Cinema Spectator is a movie podcast hosted by Isaac Ransom and Cameron Tuttle, with frequent appearances from film expert Juzo Greenwood.

    Friday Night Lights (2004)

    Friday Night Lights (2004) is a cultural classic that has the earmarks of a being a trope filled sports movie, though its real interest is what lies beneath the surface. It exists as a critique of the small-town stardom of high school football, and what keeps people trapped in that cycle.   Cinema Spectator is a movie podcast hosted by Isaac Ransom and Cameron Tuttle, with frequent appearances from film expert Juzo Greenwood.

    Warrior (2011)

    Warrior is a special and seriously underrated sports movie. Two brothers are pitted against each other in an unlikely matchup in a winner-take-all fighting tournament. Both are haunted by the pain of their past, and both are struggling to reconcile with their now sober father. Warrior is a gut punch and a deeply emotional movie that deserves more love.   Cinema Spectator is a movie podcast hosted by Isaac Ransom and Cameron Tuttle, with frequent appearances from film expert Juzo Greenwood.

    Moneyball (2011)

    Get ready for a grand slam of an episode, because our bases our loaded with a special guest: Kaleb Tuttle. Kaleb is a prolific film and television watcher, sports fan, and Aaron Sorkin devotee, which is why he's the perfect expert to bring on for this episode.

    The Babadook (2014)

    Finishing off Horror Month is The Babadook (2014), which takes on the terror of grief and loneliness.

    The Witch (2015)

    Robert Eggars' debut feature The Witch (2015) is a slow, contemplative movie about the inner workings of an exiled protestant family in the 1630s. Plagued by poor harvest and unusual happenings, they wonder if they are cursed... or are bringing it on themselves.
