We're Ryan and Bev Ellis, married film nerds who've set a multi-year goal of talking about the American Film Institute’s 1998 and 2007 lists of the Top 100 American Films Ever Made. We’re podcasting about them chronologically, so we’ll start with 1915′s The Birth Of A Nation and eventually end with 2001′s The Lord Of The Rings: The Fellowship Of The Ring. We'll post 1 podcast every Monday. The first flick is a doozie: it's D.W. Griffith's The Birth Of A Nation! Controversial and epic, this one sticks with you.
