United Statesa month ago - Fantastic movie podcast.
This new podcast is only a few episodes old but it’s already one of my favourites and has me salivating for new episodes. Having directors talk about other people’s films that they love and were influenced by is the perfect platform for some genuinely passionate and informed discussion. The hosts, Becky and Jon are amazing, have great chemistry and boundless enthusiasm for and knowledge of movies. This gets my absolute highest recommendation.

The hosts Becky & Jon have such a natural rapport with the gue... more
Apple Podcasts5jratm23United States2 months ago - Great listen!
The hosts are clearly so passionate about movies and listening to their convos with these directors is so fun. Love that the discussion is about movies the directors choose to talk about, not necessarily their movies. A+ listen even for a non-cinephile!
