The Screen's Margins
Welcome to THE SCREEN’S MARGINS, the podcast network from B Peterson dissecting cinematic canons oft undiscussed. Here on THE SCREEN’S MARGINS, we go through filmographies of directors who, while only typically known in arthouse circles, perhaps deserve to be widely considered among “the greats.” Current Free Podcasts (more podcasts are available exclusively through Patreon): OUR WEEKLY WISEMAN, a weekly series dedicated to Frederick Wiseman. Co-Hosted by Harold Urteaga. FRESH FROM THE MARGINS, a weekly series dedicated to New Releases. Co-Hosted by Anna Campion.

Oll Obout Ovid! No. 24 - 7 Oscar-Winning Animated Shorts, Plus This Year's Nominees!
Hey y'all, it's Ovid.tv time with B Peterson and Witney Seibold! This month it's all about animated shorts again, with an added focus on shorts associated with The Academy Awards. Covering films from as far back as 1952, the twelve shorts discussed are cute and unnerving and beautiful and repellent and light and intense, without a bad one in the bunch as it turns out. On a sadder note, due to personal health reasons, this will also serve as the final episode of OLL OBOUT OVID!, as well as THE SCREEN'S MARGINS, for the foreseeable future. We want to thank you all so much for listening, for giving us, and these underseen films and filmmakers, your time. We hope you enjoy.

It's episode 23 of Oll Obout Ovid!, the podcast dedicated to Ovid.tv, and this month B and Witney talk about three films they saw on the service (a 90s queer cyberpunk drama set in New York City, a tender end-of-life drama out of Hong Kong, and a quirky workplace musical also from Hong Kong), as well as a lot of other random stuff. We dunno, this episode's a casual one. We hope you enjoy, and thank you for your time.
