  • Luigi-ism

    Wellllll, in light the Kirk shooting the huge number of right wingers calling for the killing of people on the left, I’ll really be looking forward to the follow up of this interview.

  • Great documentaries being reviewed

    I like being able to get a little inside scoop to all these documentaries. Sine I hadn’t heard of but want to watch now!

    My only criticisms are #1 that I wish Matthew would stop saying he’s old and #2 that he pays a little more close attention to what the people he’s interviewing have to say. Sometimes it seems like he’s either distracted or just has a list of questions he wants to ask that don’t allow their conversational exchange to flow. But overall I enjoy this podcast.
