Through the Lens

By Darren Shulman

When you see a movie, there are things you need to know. Is there an end credit scene? Can you order a large drink, or is the movie so long that you will have to use the bathroom? What do you need to read/watch/know in advance to understand what is going on? Through the Lens is a movie review show that serves up answers these to questions and with a side of geeky movie facts.
