  • 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.
