Diving deep into the neighbourhoods of Brooklyn we thought we'd take a look at the legendary filmography of director Spike Lee.

In recognition of Indiana Jones: The Dial of Destiny being released we thought we'd take a look at the legendary filmography of director Steven Spielberg.

Learn about an oil tanker serial killer, the small budget and shooting time, and how the original short story was in a Playboy Magazine. Bayden and Kyle discuss all of this and more, on this episode of First Film.
