Bravo for the B-side Podcast
B movies are what we love at Bravo for the B-side. Here we dissect B movies, from the earnest efforts and studio-level quality films to the camcorder-based, utter amateur movies. After a beat by beat dissection of the movie we talk about what lesson(s) could be learned for beginning writers, directors, producers, actors, etc… We believe all films have a lesson.
