The New Beverly Cinema presents the Pure Cinema Podcast. My name is Brian Sauer. I'm joined, as always, by the delightful Mr. Elricane. And we have one of our favorite friends of the show returning for this very special episode

Mr. Bill Ackerman. Hello, Bill.

Hey, thanks for having me back.

Always a pleasure. In case you missed it, folks, just a little plug.

Bill was on the first episode of a little show we have on our Patreon called Film Discoveries

now, exclusive to the Patreon. He's episode one, and he did a great job with his discoveries. It's a really great. Bill was way more than five. I mean, he must have done like 30 movies or something, I feel like. Something like that. It was great. I know, Elric, you enjoyed that episode, too.

I tried it, you know.

There's no trying movies.

It's not a sampler palette of cinema.

This is pure cinema. Well, Kevin, you know, I tried it. I tried it, you know. There's no trying movies.

It's not a sampler palette of cinema.

Speaking of... Speaking of samplers, that is what we're doing today.

Mr. Kane, can you explain your idea behind this episode?

And Bill is joining us on this little adventure.
