J.D. Roge, what had Orson Welles done before this

that we ought to know about him?

Didn't we do a movie he was in? I believe we did the, um, uh, it was the early Planet of the Apes, the Rise of the Planet of the Apes.

On Film Studies, yes.

Well, same with Avengers, right? Yeah.

Yeah.

But how will it play for a modern audience?

And we're going to talk about that right now, in fact, about all things horror cinema.

Christine Evans joins me, assistant professor of teaching at Cinematic Studies in Cinematic Studies at University of BC.

Also quite a very well-dressed guest right now.

Hello, Christine.

And back to talk about it.

Hello and welcome to Edinburgh Film Podcast with me, Dr Pasquale Iannone.

we talked about what your course was before? My

It went into administration at some point, I think during COVID.

No, I did Luke.
