Each month of The Rad Carpet podcast is dedicated to a selection of significant, exemplary films from a chosen director. We’ve lined up our schedule through July of 2018 so that you, our dear listener, can keep up with the viewing schedule and be part of our film club.
The films are listed here in chronological order of release, though in some cases we might watch and discuss the films with thematic groupings in mind. Be sure to follow us on this site and on Twitter to stay privy to the viewing schedule, which may be subject to change based on the whims of The Carpet.
