I've never heard of Screen Gems before, so here's their description:
Screen Gems is all about highlighting the brilliance of narrative film and television - drama or comedy, tragedy or musical. It will not present ‘reviews’ as such, but will present ‘appreciations’ of the 20th Century’s most distinctive and influential collaborative art form – whether that Art was produced for a 72 foot ‘silver screen’ at the Bijou, or a 12 inch black and white Philco.
The heart of each installment will be; one Feature Film; or one episode of a TV series (or mini series); or in fact a complete series; or a ‘collection’ of works belonging to a common theme whether that theme is related to a particular filmmalker, genre or period.
The aim of the program is to spread Manne’s infectious contagion as far and as wide as possible, create a viral epidemic of appreciation … to make sure that the audience will want to see these programs again and again, with each screening opening up a new wonderous layer of complexity, excitement, exhilleration …
Their "New Releases" page has an "appreciation" of Firefly that I'm listening to now, and really enjoying. Via FireflyMovie.com.
Update: This piece is fantastic. If you're a Firefly fan, or not, or if you're my crazy friend Justin who irrationally refuses to watch the show, presumably just because I love it so, then you must listen to this.
