- Too angry
Recently feel like Melvin’s been really angry, just constantly. His political rant was…. Something.

United States2 months ago - Disgusting
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

Apple Podcasts5Zoetic_musicUnited Statesa year ago - Meaningful Film Discussions
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!
