About The Filmilectuals Our Story
Get people to think about movies. From thoughtless amusement to thoughtful entertainment.
Why Another Podcast?
We consume a lot of media today. Books, games, shows, and especially movies have become so commonplace that it’s often hard to actually take the proper amount of time to analyze what we see.
Filmilectuals (a combination of film and intellectuals) is a podcast that attempts to help take the step from thoughtless amusement to thoughtful entertainment.
The Show
With two film nerds for hosts, the cultural commentary is paired with plenty of observation of writing, cinematography, acting, music, and other various film-making aspects.
The aim of these episodes is to encourage listeners to think about the media they consume.
The Questions We Ask
Every episode is shaped by three guiding questions.
- What does this maker think is important?
- How does this media change me?
- Why does it make me feel this way?
Why It Matters
Film is intentionally made to be transformative.
The more we understand and then evaluate what we consume, the more we can become who we are intended to be.
