In case you haven’t listened to Episode 42 of The Reel Insight Podcast just yet (and if you haven’t, shame on you), the cat is officially out of the bag:

Another podcast is coming your way.

On Saturday June 4th, THE FILM LOCKER will burst out of the blocks for a weekly sprint through the summer. The idea is to offer counter-programming, just in case you don’t want to subject yourself to transforming trucks, caribbean pirates, or american captains. Instead, dvd’s will be taken off the shelf (“out of the locker” as it were) and discussed with the hopes that you’ll be tempted to watch them again…or perhaps for the first time!

Oh, and as much as I love the sound of my own voice, I’m not doing this alone.

After what will have been four months sitting on the podcasting sidelines, I have recruited Simon Columb of Screen Insight to co-host this show with me! In many ways we’re cinematically sympatico, but I’m sure an argument or two will occur across the Commonwealth before it’s all said and done.

Each show will focus on a different director, and zero in on some of our favorite offerings from these talented auteurs. So keep an eye open for more news in the run-up to the premiere, mark off June 4th on your calendar, and get ready to unlock the locker.
