Phantom Electric Ghost Interviews Michael Hull:Movies, Podcasts, Politics - What Else Is There? "How movie podcasts can improve movie culture" Biography Michael Hull is a filmmaker and podcast producer who hates most movie podcasts. Hull and co-host Jason Bailey have created two movie podcasts that aim to show how it should be done: FUN CITY CINEMA and now A VERY GOOD YEAR. It's time to bring some radio standards to the podcast world! People have been making audio-first material for 100 years and things were learned along the way. The low bar to entry for podcasts has created a swamp of poorly-thought out shows that never garner an audience and fizzle out after a couple of months. A lot of shows are personality driven - if you don't like the host, there isn't much else on offer. Hull identified these problems and set out to correct them by creating a structured show with segments, clips, and top-shelf guests who are an active part of making and sharing this culture we all love. Hull's feature documentary BETRAYAL AT ATTICA is currently available on HBOMax and Bailey is an author and critic for outlets like the New York Times and Vanity Fair.

Karina Longworth basically invented the film history podcast with her meticulously researched and ridiculously entertaining “You Must Remember This” (if you heard our “Fun City Cinema” show, you can tell we're fans). She just kicked off her new season, “Erotic ‘90s,” so she was kind enough to pay us a visit and talk about her favorite year of that decade, 1993, and her favorite films of it, erotic and non. All that, plus Jason discovering he and Karina had very similar tween years!

Mike and Jason used to do this whole other podcast called “Fun City Cinema,” and also had a Patreon for it, with bonus episodes. And in December 2020, they had Wrap film critic, prolific podcaster, and Christmas movie expert Alonso Duralde on to talk about three New York City Christmas movie classics - the first iteration of the two-hosts-and-a-guest format that made its way to “A Very Good Year.” So, as a Christmas bonus, we're happy to re-share this episode with you, and to encourage you to pick up Alonso's books “Have Yourself a Movie Little Christmas” and “I'll Be Home for Christmas Movies.” Happy holidays!!

“Fun City Cinema” hosts Jason Bailey and Mike Hull proudly present “A Very Good Year,” a new podcast with a simple premise: each week we invite a guest (filmmakers and actors, critics and historians, comedians and musicians) who loves movies, and ask them to select their favorite year of movies. Some pick a year from their movie-going past; some go deep into film history. Whichever the case, we spent (about) an hour talking about that year: we ask them to share their top five films of the year, and tell us why they love them; we look at the year's news headlines, award winners, and box office champions; and we finish with a lightning round, where we talk about as many films as possible in as few minutes as possible. “A Very Good Year” debuts this fall; our guests include Bilge Ebiri, Roxana Hadadi, Keith Phipps, Drew McWeeny, Dana Stevens, and Alex Winter.
