Complete with brilliant voice impressions, thoughtful analyses of an antiquated culture, and a guest appearance by documentary filmmaker Tom Jackson ("Out of Balance: ExxonMobil's Impact on Climate Change") - this is one you don't want to miss!

In each episode of ALFILMBET, hosts Alec and Sam explore a different film, sharing their individual opinions and analyses to uncover hidden meanings and offer valuable insight. The alphabetical structure (one letter per episode, with both the filmmaker's name and the film title beginning with the same letter) allows us to discuss everything from beloved classics to little-known gems. Join us for a fun, alphabetical journey through film!
