  • This podcast is AIP

    An Incredible Pleasure. I love listening to this one. It goes deep on a very specific subject and the hosts are lovely. This is what podcasting is REALLY about. (If you think it’s supposed to be a PR arm for celebrities then we can agree to disagree.) I look forward to every episode whether I know the movie or not.

    Returning to say everything I said about this podcast is still true. This is one of the rarer sources of joy in life these days.

  • Great show, dreadful ads

    They have excellent quality voices for this kind of podcast, so that listening to the description of the story is like listening to an old time radio show. They put in solid preparation. I am undecided about ratings, but as far as that goes their three-tier system is the best I know of. I do wish they would do one more brief round of Larry Buchanan films, but I can’t give a good reason. The experience is marred, though, by the ads. Wow, these are some of the loudest ads about some of the most gr... more

  • Great niche film podcast

    Love late-60s and early-70s AIP “hippie exploitation” films. Also love a podcast that covers these films with the attention and detail they deserve. This podcast is a gem among b-movie/exploitation film podcasts.

    When will they cover Psych-Out (1968)?
