"I believe a program like this is needed on television. On “Ebert Presents,” a new Johnny Depp movie can get two thumbs down (or up, or a split decision) from two intelligent people who will tell you why they voted that way, and challenge one another. Movie coverage on TV is otherwise so intensely driven by marketing that some programs actually cover the marketing itself."
The chimes at midnight - Roger Ebert’s Journal
This is what my friend and I are doing with our new podcast, Theater 42. I’m no Ebert, but I share his desire to look at films intelligently.
On Theater 42, we completely ignore box office results and media hype. We make our judgements based on what genuinely looks good. We have opinions and we stand behind them.
