Green Screen is the environmental movie podcast, where co-hosts Sean Munger and Cody Climer watch, review and analyze popular movies about the environment, involving environmental themes, or which significantly involve nature. What do movies have to say about issues like pollution, species conservation, climate change, urbanization, or the relationship of humans to their environment? We aim to examine these themes, film by film, in a fun and entertaining way, and we’re not afraid to bring it down to the nerdy level–we are, after all, film buffs!

Green Screen 
I enjoyed your discussion of China Syndrome and its relation to TMI. I am very familiar with TMI, I live in Reading PA and since I was born in 1950, I was certainly aware of the situation.
A few things. Jack Lemmon is a very good actor. I would add to his memorable performances his role in Days of Wine and Roses playing an alcoholic.
Jane Fonda was not the only beautiful young actress Roger Vadim was asociated with. He married Brigitte Bardot when she was 18 and directed her in And God Created Woman. They were married for 3 years, he moved on to a 20 year old Catherine Deneuve, before he then moved in with Jane.
Keep it up
Thanks

Phil, thank you so much! You are our first-ever comment! Glad you’re enjoying the series.
Absolutely right on Jack Lemmon. I can’t think of a bad role that he did. Even movies with less than stellar material (“The Out of Towners”) he was totally great in.
Hope you enjoy future episodes. We’re just getting going, so bear with us!

Hey Sean and Cody,
Thank you so much for your thoughtful selection of movies and your beautifully restrained style of commentary. It makes your podcast a joy to listen to.
Being from Australia, I particularly appreciated your choice of Peter Weir films. Your subtle approach really resonates with me. I also enjoy American directors like Terrence Malick, but I find that my tastes align more closely with the movies you highlight.
I absolutely love movies and crave the kind of insightful commentary and great film choices you both provide. Please keep up the fantastic work. I miss your podcast and hope to hear from you again soon.
Warm regards,Timothy hills
