  • A Review of "Almost Cult Classics"

    I had found certain parts of this "Almost Cult Classics" to had been vulgar (or profane), unnecessary, negative, disgusting, and detrimental (especially toward certain parts of it I had found to had been interesting and informative).

  • Great Listen.

    The hosts are admittedly film nerds. Both are funny. The host focus’ on the storytelling behind what makes a classic and the co-host has a particular love for the details of film making of whatever time the movie was made.
