The podcast for the website B&S About Movies. I own too many movies and too few people want to talk to me in real life about them, so what if you listen to me -- in bite-sized chunks -- tell you why I love or hate a movie?

Kansas City Bomber and Unholy Rollers are the movies that tried to take the popular world of roller derby mainstream. Well, it was mainstream actually, so maybe they tried to take it from TV to the big screen.

  • Great movie podcast but…

    I love the cut and dry delivery of background information and reviews. I do wish that he would cut down the length of clips he cuts away too, be it trailers or scenes. Some are just people screaming for long stretches and I have no idea what’s going on. Feels like he’s padding the time a bit. We really don’t need to listen to whole trailers especially if a lot of it background music.

B & S About Movies podcast special episode 21: Jenn Upton defends Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me
Q: Why is this film valuable or deserving of re-evaluation now?
