    I’ve listened to many of Doug Hess‘s interviews on Forgotten Hollywood.

  • For every movie buff…

    this podcast is a must-listen!

    Doug has some interesting guests/subjects. I’ve learned about a number of new film books that might have escaped my intention. Doug’s interviewing style is very relaxed and informal which makes it sound like two old friends are talking film.

    Bravo!
