- Wow such an excellent show
Too bad I found it after it ended with only 18 episodes. If Mr. Alexis reads this I hope you return. You are a shining example of what film podcasts should be instead of the loony laughter in 99% of the genre. Thanks for the 18+ hours of enjoyment though. Best wishes in whatever you are doing now.

A truly wonderful series of reviews of the life and work of some magnificent film directors. So many things to love about the format, including the hosts voice and deeply reverent attitude, the use of original audio, and the mix of stories of director’s life and critique of the actual work. Please make more!
