67: Gene Kelly's Butt
12/29/22 • 83 min
1 Listener
Another year draws to a close, and so many classic movies remain undiscussed on Lions, Towers & Shields. But many of your regular panelists have feelings, as well as recommendations for the future. So I invited them to share them in a themed draft episode.
NOTE: LTS will return in March 2023. We'll cover at least 21 films next year, but the episodes will be spaced out over three, seven-episode seasons to give our panelists (and your host) time to rest and reflect on all the classic film goodness that awaits.
An LTS Draft-a-palooza
Shelly Brisbin with Randy Dotinga, Nathan Alderman, Micheline Maynard, Annette Wierstra and David J. Loehr
