Canada5 years ago - Fun and informative listen!
Mike and Butler have wonderful chemistry and their lively discussion of forgotten and under appreciated cinema is well structured and researched.

It’s at times serious and thoughtful, and at others irreverent and absurd, but always an interesting listen.
