  • Turteltaub interview was amazing

    I have been listening to this podcast for the past year or so starting at episode one. I think I am about halfway caught up but wanted to take the chance to say that the turteltaub interview my favorite episode so far. I’m also excited to see how much the two of you have grown as podcasters. Keep up the good work!

  • Super Fun & Informative!

    Aubrey & Emily are fantastic. Their interaction with each other & their guests makes it all the more engaging as they dive deep into the film franchise and more! Their access to A-list cast & crew is on par with any other Hollywood podcast out there! Their passionate knowledge inspires you to go back and revisit the films, and sparks even more of a demand for the third film in the franchise!

    I’m a fan of National Treasure Hunt. It’s an under-rated gem. This podcast is not only well-produced and engaging, but it also captures the beauty of all the aspects of NTH in captivating and innovative ways. Emily and Aubrey keep me and my family coming back, episode after episode!
