    Should cinemas bring back intervals?

    'Killers of the Flower Moon' released with a 3 hour 26 minute runtime and in our showing, we were granted an interval, a rare novelty in today's cinema experience. So four members of the Focus Film team have gathered to discuss 3 hour movies and their relevance in today's world. Should we bring back intervals more regularly? And why do 3 hour films perform so well at the box office? Check out our monthly podcast rounding up everything we've been watching recently.

    Why do we like Horror Movies so much?

    All of our friends hide when we suggest seeing a horror...so what is it about the genre that we love so much but others don't? We give some suggestions of gateway horrors if you're too scared to make the jump, and discuss what our most horrific occurrence would be whilst recording the podcast. Check out our monthly podcast rounding up everything we've been watching recently as well as our recent film club where we chat about 'A Haunting in Venice' and 'Charade'.
