The movies are a great escape these days and, in this podcast, we've decided to break from our usual format and just talk about good films.
Light Reading's Editor-in-Chief Ray Le Maistre joins colleagues Kelsey Ziser and Phil Harvey to discuss what movie genres are better watched in groups and what films Ray recommends for social distancing (or just any time!).
Take a break from the madness, fire up your streaming service and listen to what happens when technology journalists try to talk about real entertainment.

I like Midnight Run, too. Director Martin Brest is in rare company because he got to direct Good De Niro (Midnight Run) and Bad De Niro (Scent of a Woman).
