That’s a wrap on Season 2 of The Canon: An Essential Movies Watchlist. We end our second season and 2023 with a classic of 90s cinema – The Shawshank Redemption.
Happy listening, screenagers!
Episode 30: The Shawshank Redemption (1994)
Get busy living or get busy dying! Season 2 of The Canon ends with a bang. Brandon and Andrew of the Namely 90s Podcast (@Namely90s on Twitter and Instagram) join Raf to talk about an essentially 90s movie. Shawshank Redemption has everything you could want in a movie – quotable lines, memorable moments, and Morgan Freeman’s velvety voiceover narration. Raf, Brandon, and Andrew take a trip down memory lane to examine why this movie is a perfect piece of 90s nostalgia.
