Gregg from the Bad Counsel Podcast
I listen to one each night before bed! It helps me calm my anxiety and I learn from each minute of listening. I enjoy the different concepts and ideas they discuss! It always changes my mind on the movie i watch throughout the day :) highly recommend to anyone who loves movies and is interested in exploring all perspectives of a film. ❤️
Really fun podcast, highly recommend everyone check it out!
Light camera this is all you need!!
I really love Audrey’s take on films and how they tie into the world around us! I was hooked after one episode!
A really great find!, can’t wait for the new shows 👏🏻
I immediately subscribed and downloaded several episodes upon reading the descriptions. As a former actress and someone who understands depression, I appreciated the “perks of being a wallflower” episode. Keep up the fantastic content.
I love how much effort goes into the research for every episode, and how such interesting connections between ideas in the world can be made through the lens of film! Treat yourself and listen to this podcast!
