MUST SEE FILMS

Welcome to MUST SEE FILMS, This is Darren and my aim is to help you see films differently. This podcast allows me to share a discussion about great films. From old to new, classic, hidden gems, childhood favourites and personal to me. As a student of film and a creator of film analysis videos I have slowly built a small community of film lovers, join the conversation by listening and voicing your opinions on these great films.

#098 Adam Skelter (The Art of Story) INTERVIEW 07/29/2018

#098 Adam Skelter (The Art of Story) INTERVIEW I loved this conversation. Adam has made a series of videos on Youtube called 'The Art of Story' and they are some of the best iv ever seen. Period.

'Making a Murderer' 01/06/2016

'Making a Murderer' This video explores the mind-blowing Netflix Documentary 'Making A Murderer.'
