Most film podcasts tell you what to watch. Cinema: A to B is more interested in why a film works or why it doesn't.
Alec Mallmann and Ben Starkey spent years working inside Hollywood before deciding the most useful thing they could do with that experience was talk honestly about cinema. Each episode breaks down the craft — cinematography, editing, performance — with the kind of insight you only get from people who've worked behind the curtain. No film degree required, minimal jargon, no scores out of ten.
New releases and revisited classics, covered biweekly. Expect spoilers.
Listener requests encouraged.
Alec & Ben have been close friends for over 20 years. Alec's background is in acting and voiceover work. Ben has worked in video & film post-production since the mid 2000s. For 6 years they both lived and worked in Hollywood. They believe talking about movies and streaming series should be nearly as fun as watching them.
