    Listened to Joe Cornish episode and the host was woefully underprepared - didn’t know much about the guest or his work, kept calling his film ‘Attack of the Block,’ got confused about Iron Man. Interview was a mess.

    Do some research!

  • 20:1 noise to value ratio

    The nasal VO announcer will pick at your brain over time. This podcast is just an opportunity for the host to tell some decades-old, quasi relevant story about his proximity to the industry, and how a trailer made waves over 20 years ago. And penis enlargement ads should tell you what this host thinks of his audience.
