Description
On The Cinematic Odyssey podcast, your hosts and amateur film lovers Max Clark and Tristen Rodriguez take their film exploration beyond the blockbusters and through the art house sphere. We typically discuss the impact the film has had on us and the film world, memorable shots and the meaning behind certain narrative choices, and the design of the work from camera angles to costuming. With our own signature brand of humor and curiosity, follow our journeys and maybe take some recommendations home as we try to expand the mainstream recognition of great film.
