Go the vampire slayers. Enjoyed conversation with HCR and found your presentation engaging. HCR brought me here and I stayed. Currently deep diving into this podcast and seeing so many interesting episode titles - filled with happiness.
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.

I have enjoyed HATM on the app formerly known as the bird app for several years and the podcast is wonderful. Jason Herbert has curated conversations with scholars on beloved films. Great work!!
