Every film says more than whether it was good. Required Viewing: A 360° Film Study is a sub-feed within The Kulturecast that takes one film, TV series or pop culture topic each Thursday and looks at it from every angle: theme, craft and cultural fallout, with the star ratings thrown out entirely. In Episode Zero: Syllabus, the good doctors lay out the thesis behind the show, what it takes for something to earn the label "required viewing", and what the episodes to come will cover.

Dr. David D. Perlmutter joins Chris Stachiw, the Doctor of Podcasting, to talk the Required Viewing thesis, what earns the label, life without star ratings, and so much more.
