    After being away on a several month-long hiatus in 2020, I have a special announcement to make. The Cinematic Schematic podcast is back!

    If you’ve been a longtime listener or The Cinematropolis reader, you’ve probably noticed things have been quiet here the last several months. There are a few reasons for this silence:

    • The challenges presented to the film industry in 2020 due to the pandemic.
    • A shift in the priorities in my personal/professional life with various projects.
    • Content creation burnout.

    To remedy this, here’s what you can expect closing out this year and moving into 2021:

    • Short weekly solo movie reviews, featuring my quick take on a new release.
    • Approximately one group roundtable film conversation a month.
    • Other special podcast series.

    This will start immediately—podcast subscribers will notice my review of David Fincher’s Mank was released at the same time as this episode. 

    Next week, you can expect a review of Christopher Nolan’s Tenet and Pixar’s new movie, Soul. And the following week, we’ll be covering Wonder Woman 1984.

    2020 has undeniably been an unusual and challenging year for everyone, including professionals working in the film and service industries. No matter what 2021 means for movie theaters, the show must go on and so must the thoughtful conversations on The Cinematic Schematic!
