Welcome to The Tower, a podcast that explores the films that took the rulebook, doused it in gasoline and lit a match. The Tower tarot card represents chaos and the upheaval of old forms, and here I will focus on films that did just that for my brilliant guests. The films that changed them forever are the films that belong in The Tower. In each episode, I interview visionaries in cinema, from directors to festival programmers, from actors to writers, from critics to psychoanalysts, and explore their favorite paradigm-shifting films. The fire is burning. Come dance with us in the flames.   Creator & Host: Emily Bennett Producer: Jordan Gass-Pooré Technical Advisor: Justin Brooks Sound Engineer: Mark Bush Original Music: Graham Reznick Art: Steak Mntn
