    I really liked it when it was about just one movie. Doing 3 movies in one episode isn’t enough detail. more

    I’m happy to be listening to some episodes with Dan doing the reviews on his own again. The Chernobyl episodes have been great.

  • Bridges the Gap Between Fact and Fiction

    This is a valuable show and a bit underrated when you consider that Americans watch more movies than we read books. Dan takes the time to bridge the gaps between Hollywood entertainment and historical facts. If you want to learn history from a relatable point of reference, this is a must-subscribe show for you!
