What happens when two friends who worked in Hollywood leave the industry but never stop talking about movies? Cinema: A to B combines insider knowledge with genuine film enthusiasm. Each week, hosts Alec Mallmann and Ben Starkey dissect recent releases and beloved classics—from racing thrillers to folk horror, 90s action to award-winners—with the kind of technical analysis and storytelling insights you'd only get from people who've worked behind the curtain. Spoilers welcome. Movie love required. Listener requests encouraged.
