If your idea of a perfect conversation jumps from the meticulous framing of a French New Wave master to the technobabble on a starship bridge, you've found your audio home. Wrong Reel dives into the vast and often wonderfully strange world of moving images with equal parts expertise and infectious enthusiasm. Host James Hancock guides these discussions, which are less like formal reviews and more like the passionate, digressive debates you'd have with your most film-obsessed friend. The scope is deliberately, delightfully broad, treating a cult classic with the same analytical curiosity as a prestige drama, finding connections where you might least expect them. This isn't about what's simply new or popular; it's about the entire ecosystem of what we watch, from the arthouse to the genre flick and everything flickering on the small screen in between. Tune into this podcast for deep dives that feel refreshingly unscripted, where the love for cinema in all its forms-the revered, the ridiculous, and the revolutionary-is the only real prerequisite. You'll come away with a longer watchlist and a renewed appreciation for the craft and chaos of storytelling through a lens.
