“Fun City Cinema” hosts Jason Bailey and Mike Hull proudly present “A Very Good Year,” a podcast with a simple premise: each week we invite a guest (filmmakers and actors, critics and historians, comedians and musicians) who loves movies, and ask them to select their favorite year of movies. Some pick a year from their movie-going past; some go deep into film history. Whichever the case, we spend (about) an hour talking about that year: we ask them to share their top five films of the year, and tell us why they love them; we look at the year’s news headlines, award winners, and box office champions; and we finish with a lightning round, where we talk about as many films as possible in as few minutes as possible.

    New Show - Guide for the Film Fanatic

    Hello New Hollywood hippies and malaise monkeys and all the ships at sea and welcome to A Very Good Year. If you’ve been listening you know we’re retiring A Very Good Year and coming back with a whole new show for 2025. In the meantime we’re looking back at the past 100 episodes by revisiting some of our favorite guests and our favorite movies by decade.  This episode is massive, but it’s the 1970s, arguably the greatest decade for film in the entire short life of the medium.

    1950s highlight show!

    After 2 years and 100 episodes we're retiring A Very Good Year and coming back in 2025 with a whole new show. In the meantime we're looking back at some of our favorite guests and favorite movies, by decade. In this episode we're looking at a decade that some people consider a dead zone: the 1950s. As you'll hear it was a great decade for movies. Ever heard of a guy named Hitchcock? I rest my case. Featuring the talents of Sheila O'Malley, Glenn Kenny, James Urbaniak, Beatrice Loayza, Aisha Harris, and one of the best to ever do it, Mr. Phillip Lopate. Thank you for listening!
