Special Episode: Friday Night Flicks

We're a year into the pandemic and we've all found creative ways to share our movie experiences. Three of our Front Row contributors have found a way to stay connected and share movies they love. Join Craig, Anna and Brandon as they recount the past year of long-distance movie viewing each Friday night. You'll find movies of almost every genre represented in the conversation. We hope it inspires you to share the movies you love with friends both near and far.

Brandon Davis is the host of Classics and Zone-i-Sodes on the Front Row Network. A true fan of cinema history, Brandon holds the distinction of being the official film historian of the Network.
