Cold War Cinema

Cold War Cinema is a podcast about movies made during the first decade of the Cold War (post-WWII through the 1950s). Each episode focuses on one film and hosts (Jason, Anthony, and Tim) discuss the film's historical context and examine its themes related to anti-communist hysteria and other political issues at the time. Season One will discuss films made during the infamous House Un-American Activities Committee (HUAC) anti-communist hearings—one film per episode, all directed by blacklisted directors. We hope you enjoy!
