Welcome to the Episode 004 show notes for Considering the Cinema, the official (albeit occasional) podcast of the Considering the Cinema blog. My name is Jason Pyles (aka “Jay of the Dead”), and this is where I consider the cinema and muse about movies.

The first three episodes of this podcast were released under the Movie Podcast Network. I have since amicably parted ways with the Network and my “full-time” podcasts. Now I maintain this blog and its occasional podcast episode releases as a mere hobby, purely for fun. So, if you want to listen to this podcast — I’d love that — but I have three fair warnings up front:

1. This podcast has no release schedule. Since it is just for fun and a genuine hobby, I’m only going to work on it when the mood strikes me. So, the two best ways to make sure you don’t miss any releases are to: subscribe to this FREE podcast feed or follow me on Twitter: @ConsiderCinema.

2. This show is a solocast, meaning, I’m the one and only host. Who knows? I may have a guest join me, once in a blue moon, but for the most part, you’re only going to hear from me. Having said that, I plan to keep the episodes short, and if they’re not short, I’ll try to find a way to spice up the solocast.

3. My third and favorite warning: Considering the Cinema is the epitome of freedom in movie podcasting, which means, there is no set theme or format for this show, so I can podcast about anything I want. The reason this is a warning is, it will probably get weird sometimes. There are some really bizarre episodes that I’d like to do, so you can’t say I didn’t warn you.

So, if you can live with a solocast that has no release schedule and no typical format, then welcome to Considering the Cinema — A Podcast About Movies and Film Criticism. Continue reading
