Behind the Slate
Welcome everyone! Join host, Aaron Strand, as we take a historical deep dive into the life and work of cinema's greatest directors. We skip across time, genre, and nationality to explore the greatest and wildest stories from the history of film, and use the lives of these extraordinary artists to examine the broader historical context that shaped their art. Think 'Hardcore History' meets 'You Must Remember This'. Between our main story episodes, we will be releasing 'One-Reelers'. These shorter episodes will feature interviews with scholars, artists and fellow movie-lovers, listener emails, or shorter historical anecdotes. Whether you're a hardcore cinephile, a history nerd, or just someone who likes a good story, you'll love these gripping tales about the art and artists that have shaped and defined our modern world! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
Brilliant… Insightful… Engaging

I arrived at this podcast seeking content and resources on the work and impact of Melvin Van Peebles and I was honestly blown away but the thoughtfulness and insight of the podcast! I’m an INSTANT FAN… and the love of the subject matter… you appreciation of film, and the context of culture and society on the creators of this medium is visceral!
Authentic and refreshing

I was originally referred to this podcast by a friend, and while I did not see myself as a “cinephile”, I found the historical deep dives to be so detailed and personable that I was hooked. More recently the episodes have evolved and taken on many nuanced narratives- and I am here for it! I love Aaron’s authenticity and personal/professional evolution. I feel like I am on the journey with him… and I can’t wait to see where he (and the podcast) go!

Jumped in for the Melvin Van Peebles story. As great as that has been so far I was blown away with the brief overview of American black entertainment history. Lots of names and stories I’ve never heard before to dig deeper on. Highly recommend for cinephiles, especially the ATLiens!
