Hosted by writer-director Wayne Kramer ( The Cooler , Running Scared ) and producer Barry Germansky ( Marlowe , Riff Raff ), Forbidden Films is a podcast about the movies they won't make anymore. Each week, Wayne and Barry take a deep dive into a once critically regarded film or commercial success that by today's regressive standards is now deemed either problematic or unlikely to ever be made again in the same way. Pushing back against political correctness, the duo bring their own filmmaking experience and love of movies to a lively — and controversial — discussion about living in illiberal times where self-censorship and timidity, fueled by corporate greed and fear of social media blowback, has led to the catch phrase, "They'd never make that film today." Forbidden Films is a shot against the bow of cinematic cowardice and a clarion call to the industry to start making bold and challenging films again. From the early James Bond films to Saturday Night Fever to A Clockwork Orange and beyond, tune in for some insightful and pugilistic conversations. Rated Mature Audiences Only. Music Acknowledgement: The Forbidden Films theme is a track called "Ghosts" by renowned film composer John Murphy. It is available on John's album "Anonymous Rejected Filmscore." Hosted on Acast.
