  • Bored hosts

    While I appreciate their perspective, for a topic so fun these hosts have zero chemistry and seem just so terribly bored by their jobs.

  • Great podcast about all things film and the Oscars

    I love discovering new film and awards podcasts. Sophia and Nick make a great duo. I am always impressed with the depth of knowledge of film history. I have a little soft spot for Sophia. Her love of the films from the 70’s, what I consider the greatest decade in cinema as well. We also share a common love for Faye Dunaway, Diane Keaton, Jane Fonda, Daniel Day Lewis, Altman, Scorsese, and PTA. Keep up the great work.

  • Well put together, fresh, and engaging!

    This podcast is incredibly fun, organized, and purpose-driven with emphases on history and current events and how the two connect. Sophia and Nick have excellent chemistry. They bring their knowledge and analysis forth in ways that demonstrate that to educate is also to spread enjoyment for your audience. I enjoy hearing about their adventures on the way to screenings, during screenings, and after screenings, whether that be festivals or individual films on any given day. Their original, recurri... more
