Alex Winter decided to explain why TCM is still absolutely essential for film buffs. The Bill & Ted star spoke to CinemaBlend about the Growing Up on Screen series featuring child stars. He began to roll out the reasons that Turner Classic Movies still scratches that itch for classic movies. It’s been a major plus for all manner of viewers during the pandemic. The reach has only increased as HBO Max added titles under the umbrella as well. Criterion Channel exists and there are classics to be found elsewhere, but when it comes to the descriptions and analysis of these titles, having it all rolled into your cable costs is hard to beat. Both TCM and Criterion feature coveted curation that steers you toward interesting films that trigger introspection and reflection as well. Turning on TCM might not yield your favorite film every time out, but it will absolutely get you thinking.
