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!

Customer Reviews
Cinephiles and history nerds have a new home with Behind the Slate!!
Such a fun and informative show! Aaron is a great host, the topics are unique and interesting, and the guests are always great picks
Incredible Pod
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!
Hitting it out of the park
Superb history that goes deep and leaves nothing on the sidelines. Informative, interesting, humorous , tasteful and fearless. Bravo!
