Decided to throw on the episode about my favorite movie of all time, “Ferris Buellers Day Off” and was delighted by the conversation. This is a movie I’ve watched an insane amount of times yet this pod still offered some new viewpoints that I hadn’t considered before. Really liked the Sloane conversation specifically. Highly recommend for any movie lovers!

Apple Podcasts5Matt ThurstonUnited States5 years ago - Huge variety of movies covered
The great thing about Crooked Table is that there is room for every type of movie at Robert’s table, from the massive films—every Star Wars or Marvel movie, for example—to small indie darlings like Sing Street that rarely see extended coverage elsewhere. The conversations are in-depth, meaningful and with a variety of guests who genuinely adore the film of the week. An excellent weekly staple for fans of all films.
