Secret Cinema: Tales of Forgotten Films and Movie Palaces

Nest of Vipers

To most well-educated cineastes, off the radar films bring to mind titles like Eraserhead, Faster, Pussycat! Kill! Kill!, The Sweet Smell of Success and Detour. This week, our team of fundits dig deeper into the celluloid closet as we discuss Mormon educational films, medical training films, and other oddities with catchy titles like The Estrogen Cycle of The Rat. And if that's not enough, we share our love for single screen movie theaters, explore the rapidly changing theater going experience, and pay homage to faded movie palaces like San Francisco's Strand Theater, Boston's Pilgrim Theater and more. Guests include film writer Jack Stevenson, film programmer Jesse Ficks and filmmaker Christian Bruno. Hosted by filmmaker Danny Plotnick.
