Ep. 49: What's Wrong with the Best Films of the Century?

Alex and Lee welcome Matt Lauterbach of All Senses Go to discuss the inaccessibility of the New York Times' Top 100 Films of the Century So Far. In this episode, we discuss why accessibility for these films is important, the barriers to getting them audio-described, and potential solutions moving forward.
