Should you watch this? with The Popcorn Priest: Recent Episodes
Movie Reviews with Chris Compton
Join me, The Popcorn Priest and my guests as we talk about why you should or shouldn't see what we just did. I used to work part-time at a movie theatre. While there, besides eating many many bags of free popcorn and just as much soda, I screened, talked about, and debated movies with other movie fans like myself. I am not at the theatre anymore, however the screening, talking and debating movies lives on in this podcast. We screen new and old movies, then talk about what we like and what we didn't like. It's laid back and most of the time informative but always an adventure.
In this engaging conversation, The Popcorn Priest (Chris Compton) speaks with Steven Bernstein, a multifaceted filmmaker, about his journey from philosophy to cinematography and directing. They explore the importance of vulnerability in storytelling, the evolution of visual language in film, and the unique narrative style of Bernstein's recent novella, GRQ. The discussion also touches on the impact of music videos on filmmaking, the role of comedy in cinema, and the creative process behind writing and directing. Bernstein shares insights into the adaptation of his book into a film and the exciting rollout plans for the movie, as well as his thoughts on the future of storytelling in the age of AI.

Join me, The Popcorn Priest and my guests as we talk about why you should or shouldn't see what we just did. I used to work part-time at a movie theatre. While there, besides eating many many bags of free popcorn and just as much soda, I screened, talked about, and debated movies with other movie fans like myself. I am not at the theatre anymore, however the screening, talking and debating movies lives on in this podcast. We screen new and old movies, then talk about what we like and what we didn't like. It's laid back and most of the time informative but always an adventure.
