A podcast brought by the team that brings you cupofteacritiques.com, the site that encourages critical viewing of film so you can decide for yourself if they’re your "cup of tea." Reading the tea leaves of the film industry is challenging. Each week on the podcast, the team peels back the layers on a movie genre or industry trend to offer aspiring filmmakers some clarity and guidance on what is often rough and indecipherable terrain that is the film and television industry. So, grab a deep brew for a deep look and some hilarious moments.

Epic Films. Even the label sounds lofty, doesn’t it? Webster has interesting synonyms for “epic”: majestic, monumental, magnificent, impressive. Collins views it in terms of time and scale: long, extended, classic, grandiose. On this podcast, we talk about epic films and learn that both our ideas about them and our affinity for them vary. Where one of us thinks epic is related to the feelings the story leaves them with, another thinks of the movie in terms of its duration. Where one thinks of an epic film as a battle between good and evil, another says an epic can even be a comedy. (Yes, I think it’s a stretch too.) Join us on the Cup of Tea Critiques Podcast where we discuss epic films and strive to decipher the elements that qualify movies for such a lofty category.
What’s your definition of epic? Send us a comment to let us know some of your favorite epic films.
