About Richard Wells
I'm Richard Wells, the founder of BingeButter.com, a passion project born from my love of cinema across the decades. For the past five years, I've dedicated myself to writing about and analysing films, focusing on the classics from the 1960s through the early 2000s on my other website, RewindZone. While my heart remains with the classics, I founded BingeButter to broaden my horizons and bring attention to the evolving landscape of modern film and television. Understanding cinema's rich history enhances our appreciation of contemporary entertainment, allowing us to recognise both innovation and homage in today's productions.
