About this listen

The Third Act Podcast is what happens when three friends get together and launch into movie-related discussion and reviews.
New releases, old films, Auteurography (where the entire filmography of a specific director is covered) as well as nostalgically-themed episodes such as "Don't Judge a Movie By It's Cover" and "But Does It Hold Up?" are all part of the cinema-obsessed mix here.
So, do yourself a favor and grab an ice cold can of Mt. Dew Baja Blast and enjoy Christian, Jericho, and Armando's long-winded foray into all things involving the mooooovies,

    On the two hundred and ninety-third episode of THE THIRD ACT PODCAST, the crew are celebrating African cinema.

    Christian and Jericho review Akinola Davies Jr.'s critically acclaimed familial drama, MY FATHER'S SHADOW, which they pair with Ousmane Sembène's 1968 gently satirical classic, MANDABI. In the Recently Watched segment, German filmmaker Ulrike Ottinger's THE BERLIN TRILOGY and EXIT 8 are discussed.

    They also debate life's most important questions such as "What is a Lee Cronin?" before delving into father/son bonding, colonialism, fart jokes, and yet another Christian blubbering mess alert.
