My entry to this podcast was the round table episode about historical figures who deserve to have movies made about them, and the opening speaker rambled on to complain about current controversies in the US, pronouns, and political correctness. Maybe it’s not a good episode to start with, but if they’re going to spend every third sentence complaining, as the first 10 minutes of this episode did, then the podcast is not for me and I rate it 1 star.
Everyone on this podcast seems to think they can do everything better. There's a reason they're reviewing massively successful works. Lost me with The Da Vinci code.
Steve tells the story behind some of the greatest movies and fills in a lot of background on the movie ,actors and directors.

Great podcast.
Always interesting.
If you want to understand the nexus between art and life, between movies and history, this is your podcast. Steve is brilliant at giving you the context of some of the biggest movies in film history. He has great guests and just does a great job with presenting the facts. I highly recommend!
