B Movie May Part 1

We are back (with a fully functional recording this time) to kick off a new month on The Occasionalists. It's May, so you know what that means...Justin Timberlake memes! No!

It's Movie May! Every month of May we take a deep dive into a specific branch of the film industry. Last year, we held our own short film festival and this year we are taking on a long time staple in the American film industry: the B Movie.

For the first part of this double feature, we start from the origins of the B Movie in the Depression and work our way through the oaters of the 1940s and 1950s.

Strap in, baby. In the year 2022, podcasting is no longer a felony. It's the national sport!
