Recently feel like Melvin’s been really angry, just constantly. His political rant was…. Something.
I’ve noticed myself, that sometimes Christians who don’t like Trump (of which I am one) will just get really bitter at other Christians who do, and accuse them of being blinded. They say that it’s dangerous to be too absorbed in politics, which it is. But… sometimes.. it becomes clear they’re just as absorbed as the trump supporter, but since it’s not trump! It’s fine.

This podcast used to be a decent place to discuss film, but the host has been infected by the woke mind virus and spews nothing but vitriolic envy and bitterness. The host wantonly mocks and derides those he disagrees with politically. On his social media pages he even dances on the grave of an assassinated political commentator. To add insult to injury, he incessantly derides capitalism and consumerism and yet has the gall to splice in petitions for subscriptions to his Patreon every few minut... more
Melvin does a great job with this show and it’s always a good listen!
Melvin had me on as a guest and I was impressed by his ability to talk about film at a high level. He’s also a super great guy! Highly recommend!
I’ve been a listener of this show for a long time! It’s always been one I know I can trust to have meaningful discussions about film from both a filmmaking and thematic perspective. I appreciate Melvin, his perspective, and his approach with this show! Not to mention, there are usually some good laughs too!
