    Having a perspective from someone who is a film lover going through the “designated classics” and discussing his experience whether not it lives up to the hype is a fascinating insight to Jake’s perspective.

    I love these takes on these films even if I don’t fully agree with his assessment.

    I highly recommend this podcast.
