Arthouse Legends Podcast


Welcome to Arthouse Legends Podcast - Where High Art and Geek Culture Collide! The goal of this podcast is to take a look at critically acclaimed and well-received films and consider if these films truly deserve their revered status in the cultural zeitguest. Using our combined film knowledge, geeky obsessions and general fart jokes, we take a bite out of much-beloved films, sometimes in love, other times in scorn, but never out-of-bounds.

Working with an A-list cast including Bruce Willis, Madeleine Stowe and Brad Pitt, 12 Monkeys would become Gilliam's biggest success both critically and commercially. But does the film deserve the acclaim or should it be buried deep underground? MovieDude Eric and Chris Tondevold travel back to find out.
