I’ve listened to so many podcasts about movies and film industry and this is the best. I can’t wait for the next episode to be released! I’ve listened to all the back catalogue
I’m binging all the episodes starting from season 1 and just love these conversations with these legends of cinema. Currently listening to the Superman episode with the late Dick Donner (RIP). Just want to add that it was David Prowse (who played Darth Vader along with the weightlifting manservant in A Clockwork Orange) that trained Christopher Reeve, not Peter Mayhew (Chewbacca).
Thank you so much for interviewing Eric Roberts. He is one of those actors you see everywhere and he’s fantastic. I saw star 80 when it came out. I was about 13 and boy did it have an impact on me. How he never got an Oscar for that was beyond me, but I think back then they didn’t like “bad guys”. I love your interviewing style and the guests, etc. Please keep it up!
I’ve been “following” this podcast for years and never really prioritized it, thereby not listening too often. Imagine my surprise in enjoying the Linda Woolverton interview so much that I’ve made “It Happened in Hollywood” podcast one of my favorites. (I didn’t know of Linda Woolverton before this episode.)
Super informative interviews with a lovely host who is so genuinely interested in and admiring of his subjects - makes this very engaging.
