Film Canister Podcast

'A disturbing film that's not technically horror' - 'From the 60s'...

We go in turns recommending films, and also answer questions drawn from a separate jar. The episodes take a while to put together for your listening pleasure - have a listen! If you have a suggestion for a prompt that should be in the jar, or just a question for us to answer (movie-related or not), let us know!
