With the recent passing of Bill Gold, The Poster Boys look back on the design studio headed by one of the biggest names in film advertising for over 40 years. From Casablanca to Mystic River, Brandon and Sam touch on Gold's early days as an in-house designer at Warner Bros. before diving into the numerous film poster campaigns he and his collaborators created for some of cinema's most enduring works. After the Bill Gold Advertising studio tour, the boys open up the Flat File to take a quick look at the posters for the 1973 horror classic, The Exorcist.
