A Suggestion about Past Marathons
« on: July 18, 2011, 03:47:17 AM »
I've been thinking about this a lot. I was wondering if it's possible if you guys edited each marathon you've done into a past into one or two part episode. Okay, so like let's say the Billy Wilder marathon would have like two episodes that includes all of the reviews for the films within that marathon and then the awards for it as well. And then the Archers would have another one and so forth. I'm mainly asking for this because I hate trying to find all of the past episodes with the marathons and no offense, but that's usually why I listen to episodes I've missed in the past. So if each marathon up until now (perhaps not the Kieslowski one) got their own two parter episode, that would be really cool. I'd really appreciate that. Something to consider?

Thanks,

Totes

And where are the marathons?

My favorite part of Filmspotting has been the marathons, which provided me with part of my recent education of film.  More and more, Filmspotting is sounding like a normal film review, with the focus being on recent releases.  Sure, the top 5s get into movie history, and that's great, but there's no real in depth talk on films of the past there.  Please pick up on marathons again!

Didn't they say a couple months ago they were going to ease up on the marathons?  I seem to recall them saying it was taking up too much of their time or something.

I miss them too :(

There will be marathons.  The guys usually don't tackle a marathon when there are lots of new releases (good, new releases) on the calendar.  Our fall calendar is brimming !

Candace is right. We had planned to start Blaxploitation in September but it just doesn't make sense in the Fall. Could change though on short notice.
