Cinema Spectator
ECFS ProductionsAn ECFS Productions Original Podcast: Cinema Spectator is a film history podcast that takes away the pretense that usually comes along with learning about film.

It’s fun to hear the differences in reactions between an expert and a casual movie watcher. Also very good to have on while doing light studying
Apple Podcasts5STARWARS NERRRRRRDUnited States6 years ago - It's actually a five star rating
I only put 4 so it doesn't seem like Isaac and Cameron used bots.
Great premise and dynamic for a podcast, and each episode is fun and unique!
Apple Podcasts4ParkerYooUnited States6 years ago - Great podcast
I wish I would have stumbled upon this podcast sooner. Isaac is the most entertaining person I’ve ever listened to and always is the highlight of my day when I get to listen to the podcast. If I could listen to one podcast for the rest of my life it would be Cinema Spectator because I gain so much knowledge about these classic films from a regular viewer’s perspective. It has opened my eyes to the art of cinema and film and allows me to have a deeper appreciation for movies.

A duo that plays off each other's dynamic personalities, great job to Cameron and Isaac! Each episode is packed with genuine and informative takes. Would recommend to anyone interested in exploring themes, crew, and flicks of the cinematic world!
