The Tinsel Factory: A Film History Podcast
By Katelyn Amber
The Tinsel Factory is the film history podcast you didn't know you needed - a digestible presentation of the greatest stories from the echelons of film. Each month your host, a filmmaker who daylights for a major Hollywood studio, picks a theme and choses four topics from within to broaden your film knowledge. Not a film snob? You'll love it here - everything is broken down for the most causal film lover or someone just starting to dip their toes into the world of cinema. Come on in, take a seat, it's showtime.
