Hello, and welcome to Depth Perception. We discuss movies and dive into how films direct the way we experience them. We create a perception of sound, a perception of sight, with a dimension of mind. We move into a land of both shadow and substance, of themes and ideas. I am your host, Mr Vozly, and I will be joined each episode by regular cohorts Kmax, and James. Together we will discuss, dissect, and interpret movies. Each episode may be a specific movie, or it may be a theme that certain films support. We are not here to rate them, nor bash them. Each movie has something to offer us as an audience. Stay tuned for our first episode where we discuss the movies that have the most influence on our enjoyment of cinema.
