Hello and welcome back to Popped, a blog connecting film and cinema history to our lived experience.
It’s been a little while but I’m excited to be back with the Poppedcast which has a new feel to it.
After reflecting on the kind of stuff I like to listen to, and the experience I want create for Popped, this month’s Poppedcast is a more reflective, less “recommend-y” listen. It’s something I had fun putting together and I’m happy with it. I hope you enjoy.
This month I have a look into a box of DVD’s I found, not before reflecting on the week we’ve had news wise, and the effect the constant bombardment of atrocities has on us all.
Note: It hadn’t sunk in that The Story of Gareth Edwards is presented by Gareth Edwards. I simply cannot wait to watch this. How is he going to pull this off!?
Finally the documentary I spoke about is called Cover-Up and it’s on Netflix now. It’s not an easy watch; the content is pretty harsh. But there is a strong link to the important role that proper journalism has to play in holding those in power to account.
I’d love your thoughts and feedback on the episode.
If you feel like someone you know would take something from listening to it please do pass it on.
Take care of yourselves. Go and watch some films.
Gareth
