Hello strangers! (And a few folks I know.) Season 2 of All the Movies is here, which means I am about to start putting up some more podcasts of the movies I’ve been watching. We left off in early 1916, and we’ll pick up there with an Italian film in the next installment, which will be the 59th film I’ve watched thus far.
Before I put up that new episode, I’m going to edit the past posts to include the name of the director of each film. I usually mentioned the director, but it seems like something that I should highlight, so I’m replacing the somewhat pointless, though occasionally pithy, subtitles on past posts with the name the film’s director, and will continue to include that information in all future titles.
As a quick refresher, this podcast exists as a way for me to better remember the details about the films I watch. I also have an account on Letterboxd where I share lists of the films I watch, and some other neat stuff. You can also read this older post if you’d like to know more about why I launched this podcast.
And even though I initially created this Substack for my own personal use, now that people have subscribed, I hope y’all can converse with one another in the comments. Please use it as a place to get to know other fans of cinema. Especially at this early stage in the podcast, when all the films discussed are silent and over 100 years old, the odds of finding another person who shares your interest in esoteric film are probably better here than anywhere else online. In today’s world, where everything is online, opportunities to find likeminded individuals are few and far between, especially for stuff like old movies. Take advantage. Converse among yourselves!
Season 2 Is Here!
