Unforgettable Opening Credits

Unforgettable Opening Credits

In a world where movies rely on marketing more than ever to connect with audiences, one podcast aims to make sense of it all…

What’s in this episode?

We spotlight movie title sequences that continue to kick around our hippocampuses long after the end credits have rolled.

On today’s episode we’re talking about opening credits. Why? Because:

  • We recently discussed the best TV opening credits on our sister podcast Speaking Human, and that got us thinking about the movies
  • Long before TV, filmmakers have been using the opening credits in not just a functional way (to show who made the thing) — but also as an extension of the form (to do something artistic)
  • There have been a lot of great movie title sequences over the years, we thought we’d share a few
