Since 2008, The Shawshank Redemption has been at the top of the IMDb Top 250 Films. It is a fixture on cable television. It is one of the most commonly cited “favorite films.” Why is this? Why has a film remained so popular for 22 years? We delve in with the obvious question: Is Shawshank the best movie ever?
We also check in about our own writing, publishing, and the ins and outs of our careers. Brent talks about his music video and how it’s inspired him to create a short film, and Erik talks about another podcast he’s started to help market his books for small nonprofits. (Note: if you want to jump forward to the main topic of the episode, it starts at timecode 8:22.)
