About the show

Old Movies! In each episode of this film and conversation podcast, a very special guest brings an old movie to discuss with film curator and programmer Paul Martinovic, to explain why it's so special to them and generally enthuse about it, oftentimes for well over an hour. It's like Desert Island Discs, basically, but with one film instead of several, uh... discs.
