Booking Overview

This is a film-criticism podcast focused on classic Hollywood and the golden era of cinema, typically featuring external critics, biographers, journalists, and video essayists for episode-specific analysis. PR agencies could credibly pitch knowledgeable film critics, classic-film authors and biographers, cultural journalists, and established video essayists; booking difficulty is likely low because the show regularly features accessible niche experts rather than only high-profile celebrities.

And joining me on this cinematic road trip is McQueen biographer Marshall Terrill. Terrill and I talk about how this was McQueen's highest high, and led to his lowest lows.
