  • Please.

    I’d love to hear more Leonard Maltin and more guest speaking, less Jessie.

  • More Leonard, Less Jessie

    I’d like to give 5 stars as Leonard is a National treasure loaded with in depth knowledge but always accessible. His questions are informed and open ended, encouraging guests to expound on their experiences. Things get derailed once Jessie enters the conversation with long winded ruminations that are all about her and all the celebs she’s interacted with. She so into her own thing that she over talked this week’s guest (legendary producer Frank Marshall) multiple times. Let your guest speak!

  • A Review of "Maltin on Movies"

    I had found certain parts of what I had believed to had been this "Maltin on Movies" to had been vulgar (profane), unnecessary, unprofrossional, negative, and detrimental (or certain parts that could had been prevented if only what I had believed to had been this "Maltin on Movies" had involved only one regular host (or only one Maltin; specifically the Leonard one)).

    This is what a podcast about movies must be. Don’t go anywhere else. What a blessing! The Woody Allen episode is rare and impeccable. Sublime! Thank you!
