Back in 2019, Screenage Wasteland launched 'The Canon' - a selection of over 200 films from the dawn of cinema to the present day - all of which we at the Wasteland consider to be worthy of entering a sacred Canon.
Our picks may not be as prestigious or universally loved as something like AFI’s 100 years… 100 movies, but they’re all damn good movies. Movies we should celebrate. And we’re here to do just that.
Each week, host Raf Stitt is joined by various movie fans and movie lovers to discuss a new entry in 'The Canon'
