Longer-form cinema interviews diving into filmmaking craft including acting, directing, editing, composing and so much more. I grew up watching DVD features and I always wanted to create a show that can be similar to that idea of giving audiences an understanding of the hard work and dedication that goes into filmmaking.

    I first started listening to Kevin when he was known as BDK on the Junkies sports radio show in Washington, DC. He should be incredibly proud of the career he has built for himself. Few have worked as hard as him to earn a well-deserved reputation for producing some of the most engaging and well-informed interviews and reviews in the business. Keep up the good work Kevin. You’re exceptional at what you do.

  • Fix the Ads interrupt mid sentence

    Listening on Apple Podcasts.

    Thank you, I love that your podcast exists!

    There’s an annoying issue where advertising cuts in sometimes mid sentence.

    Not sure what control you have but this is the only podcast I listen to where this happens.
