The Projectors
Bob Sham and Angela are film fans discussing a wide variety of films from throughout history and the world. Box office hits to historically significant deep cuts as well as monthly themes of creators, concepts and genres that help us expand understanding of film & find movies they may not otherwise come across. They are not experts but enthusiasts. Not too dumb. Not too smart. Just right. Let’s watch some movies. We love you.
