The Bricked Pit

1 Creator

The Bricked Pit is a podcast where hosts Jason, Josh, and Adam explore movies and pop culture, often focusing on classics from the '80s and '90s. Known for their conversational banter and comedic tangents, the trio offers in-depth analyses of films, digging into everything from practical effects to controversial directors. They aren't afraid to debate the merits of sequels (is "Dawn of the Dead" superior to "Night of the Living Dead?"), and they're not shy about expressing their distaste for excessive nostalgia in modern film.

S01 E10 Is This the Real Life?

The Bricked Pit

07/15/21 • 62 min

Documentaries. What are they? Where do they come from? How are they made? And how do they end up on the shelf at your local store? The guys barely scratch the surface on this informative format of film. Things get a little nerdy (more so than usual) when some actual film history and theory gets injected into the conversation. Please have your pencils and notepads ready. There will be a test afterwards on such films as Nanook of the North, Rock-a-Fire Explosion, Bowling for Columbine, Gimme Shelter, and others.
