Join us for the sixth season of the Plaza Classic Podcast, hosted by Lisa Elliott and Stephanie Valle.
They’re five episodes into the new season, which began last month with an interview with now departed El Paso Film Commissioner Drew Mayer-Oakes, who left earlier this year to take a similar position in Corpus Christi.
Film noir expert (and PCFF 2024 guest) Alan Rode is featured on the second episode of the season. The third episode highlights how teen dating violence is depicted in films with guest Aaron Setliff, the division chief of the protective order unit in the County Attorney’s office and board chair of the Center Against Sexual and Family Violence.
Episode 4 features PCFF contributor Rebecca Mendez of the Community Foundation of Southern New Mexico discussing “What Rob Reiner Taught Us About Love” and the recently posted fifth episode features longtime PCFF contributor Jack Fields talking about his love of movies and how the NMSU grad gets to indulge that living in Los Angeles.
Lisa, Stephanie, Rebecca, and Jack are all members of the Plaza Classic Film Festival Program Advisory Committee, which helps plan and stage the film festival. The 19th annual PCFF will be July 16-26 in and around the historic Plaza Theatre. Passes are on sale now.
