John is a passionate film buff who approaches cinema from a somewhat populist perspective. He's actively engaged with indie fests and does a great job of giving POC the spotlight. Highly recommend.
I didn’t enjoy this podcast. It meanders, the host takes forever to say stuff, and it seems very surface level. No real insight, a lot of just repeating the plot. There are much better review podcasts out there.
Seriously, John and his energetic band of weekly guests cover a breadth of topics including cinema, video games, pop culture, etc - and the best part is they don't take themselves too seriously like your ordinary, outdated, snooty critics.

John and his rotating crew of co-hosts bring an awesome energy to my podcast feed every week. It's unlike anything else I listen to and that's mostly because of the passion he infuses into everything he discuses. John is knowledgeable without being pretentious, and is also one of the best interviewers I've ever heard. You can expect lots of laughts, too, as the crew never take themselves too seriously. Absolutly a must listen film & entertainment podcast. Add this one to your feed today!
