Pure Cinema Podcast

In case you’re wondering, the magnificent Pure Cinema Podcast is now available through The New Beverly website out in Los Angeles. Yep, the theater owned by Quentin Tarantino. The hosts recently interviewed him along with Joe Dante. To say they are evolving would be an understatement. It was an honor to host their first three seasons here and the show only continues to get better after pairing up exclusively with The New Beverly, so check out all future episodes and subscribe there or wherever else you get your podcasts!

For their Season Three Finale, Elric and Brian return to their tradition of using one of Danny Peary's Cult Movies books as the jumping off point for the episode. They each choose their usual "Five Films Because" from the book and also throw in a short list of three movies each that they feel deserved to be highlighted from season three. During the break between seasons, be sure to look for them on Patreon, where they will continue to crank out exclusive bonus content!
