This week the topic is can films be philosophical? We argue over how suitable the medium of film is in articulating philosophical questions and ideas when compared to #books. Are films is better than books or they simply suited to different purposes? Should films be kept for the primary reason that of entertainment? Please write in/calling with films you think are in some way #philosophical. We also took calls and messages from listeners about what films they considered to be philosophical.

Rhodders’ guest co-host is #philosophy graduate and soon-to-be student of the Met film school Siobhán O’Reilly. Long-time listeners may remember as producer Siobhán 2.0 from Rhodders’ Junction11 breakfast show! Follow her antics on twitter @SiobhanScarr.
