  • Great film podcast!

    Film Foundations has been a great new podcast that is covering a lot of interesting topics within cinema. In addition to the interesting topics, there’s been some good guests too. I’m very eager to see where this show goes.

    My only criticism is the ads. I understand these are recorded as a “live” sessions but if there’s a way to better edit in ads, that’d be great. It’s just a little jarring to hear someone get interrupted mid-sentence. Some sort of transition into the ads would be preferred.
