Welcome back to THE DISCOURSE, a podcast about film, entertainment & culture.In this episode, Tony and Carl use Carrie Coon mentioning her husband's 10,000 strong bluray collection to discuss the ongoing rise of physical media once more, and inadvertantly kickstart a new section.Plus! Rolling Stone just released an article - 50 Terrible Movies by Great Directors - so we ask: are these directors all great? And are these movies all terrible?And finally, they both try and remain non-creepy as they talk lesbians, more specifically how 'sapphic cinema' is becoming much more fun...--Remember: subscribe to THE DISCOURSE+ for early access, ad-free listening and bonus episodes not available to regular listeners.Support the show here:https://wemadethis.supportingcast.fm/the-discoursehttps://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/the-discourse/id1645920271www.patreon.com/thediscoursepodcastNew episodes of The Discourse drop each week every Monday and Wednesday...Host / EditorTony BlackCo-HostCarl SweeneyFollow us on social media:https://linktr.ee/thediscoursepodcastFollow Tony & Carl:Carl: @CKJSweeney on TwitterTony: https://linktr.ee/ajblackwriterListen to Carl's THE MOVIE PALACE podcast:https://wemadethispodcasts.com/podcast/the-movie-palace-podcastListen to Tony's AT THE MOVIES IN THE 90s podcast:https://wemadethispodcasts.com/podcast/at-the-movies-in-the-90sWe Made this Twitter: @we_madethisWebsite: wemadethispodcasts.comTitle music: The Subtle Ones (c) John Ahlin via epidemicsound.com
