We're Talkin' Movies
Summary: The subject of movies is wide and deep. The realm of film provides many memories and much to discuss. Join Johnny Popcorn and Eddie Klieg as they reminisce and explore those images that dance in the dark and transport us to other times and places. Though our initial exposure to those images is only a couple of hours in the dark, the hold that a well-crafted film has on our memory can last a lifetime. Those dancing images, literally imprinted on our minds, form the basis for conversation as Johnny and Eddie journey through films both past and present.
