This is an interesting podcast and as I listened through the backlist it covers many movies and the history around them. But since the beginning of the year I have watched for new episodes about movies and they are getting fewer and fewer. The pod seems to have decided to go a different direction. I have no problem with the new episodes but it’s kind of a bait and switch. It’s no longer what I signed on for so I am parting ways.

Listened to 3 episodes I thought I’d like. Conversations went short or without structure. Didn’t come away with any information more than I came with. A host who is annoying. The idea is good but I want my time back.

It’s not boring or always holding filmmakers to task for not being historically accurate, but instead helps us think about how history informs our movie making and how our movie making informs are historical memory. Guests are scholars who know their stuff, but are normal people who make their work accessible. Jason is a great host, who asks thoughtful que... more
