So well researched, and kind of therapeutic to find out just exactly went wrong with the Rise of Skywalker film
Well-researched, well-paced, well-narrated. Love this show.
Bingeable, approachable, expert - it's rare that learning behind the scenes film nonsense feels this much fun.
Truly an incredible pod! Well-researched, insightful, dryly funny, and always engaging. An excellent deep dive in the many ways the filmmaking process can go off the rails in the contemporary studio system.
Genuinely needs more attention, the production quality is insane. Keep it up!!!!
