Scene by Scene

By: Justin Johnson & Joe Lefeber
  • Summary

  • Scene by Scene is not a traditional movie review podcast. It’s a film discussion podcast with two independent filmmakers fascinated by the filmmaking process. Every other week, Joe and Justin break down the elements of one movie to better understand how films are made, what makes a “good” one, and what makes a “bad” one. After examining the film's story and themes, visual technique, and historical, cultural, or personal significance, they discuss what they've learned.
