  • the perfect film companion

    As I’ve been diving into classic films recently, these podcast episodes have serve as both the perfect companion to what I’m watching and a great list for what I should watch next.

    They’ve hit the nail on the head with their featured actors each season. I’d looooove a Robert Mitchum season. He’s got lots of really great films that would make for fun discussions.

  • Entertaining and Educational

    Entertaining and educational, Hollywood-ography is a fun podcast to listen to for any cinephile. The hosts have great chemistry with one another and always provide wonderful context and opinions regarding the films they cover. I feel like I’m learning something new with every episode. I’m a huge fan of the works of Natalie Wood, so it is amazing to see someone dive into her entire filmography for a full season of a show.

  • Insightful commentary

    Insightful and engaging, the hosts cover each film discussed with depth. I always learn something, and I consider myself somewhat schooled in the realm of classic film. Not as much as these two wonderful women, and grateful they chose to share their passion and knowledge in this manner. Give a listen you won’t be disappointed!

  • Hollywoodography

    Maureen Lenker and Oriana Nudo are so fun to listen to. I love learning about Old Hollywood and every detail and nuance of films and their stars (Natalie Wood so far). I’ve been following Maureen’s work at Entertainment Weekly and this is truly an amazing addition.

    The hosts have a lightness that makes me feel like I’m sitting in my living room chatting with them over elegant cocktails. So fun. Definitely check it out.
