The One with Film

On this episode of Entertainment Education: The Podcast - The One with film, we discuss that while movies are often viewed as a form of entertainment, they also serve as important tools for learning, shaping the way audiences understand history, culture, politics, and the world around them. Our discussion examines how film can educate viewers even when teaching is not its primary purpose and how the rise of streaming platforms has transformed the ways people consume, engage with, and learn from media. We also take a deeper look at the political and social dimensions of film, particularly within the horror genre. Joining me this episode is Professor of Media and Film History, Brian Shelton.
