Sightgeist
A podcast about old movies.

Season 1

Episode #00 - Introducing Sightgeist!

Welcome to Sightgeist, a podcast that looks at the great movies of yesterday and how they hold up today! In this introductory episode, co-hosts Jimmy and Joe talk a bit about themselves and the show's format, as well as a bit about why they wanted to create Sightgeist in the first place.

Why do we remember some movies and not others? What does it take for a film's legacy to last beyond a few years? Why do the Oscars get it wrong so often? Each month, Jimmy and Joe will pick a movie from ten years ago and consider its legacy in today's film landscape and whether or not it holds up.
