Cinema Possessed

Jack Bishop & Corey Clifford

Filmmaker and actor, Jack Bishop and Corey Clifford take a close look at the films in their life-long DVD and Blu Ray collections and discuss what each movie means to them today. One-by-one, they revisit the movies (bonus features and all) to decide if they should keep ‘em, trash ‘em or upgrade ‘em. And along the way they share hilarious life stories, insights about the filmmaking process and present film theories that usually cause them to fight each other. It's good movie talk!
