  • Fantastic Pod

    I’ve been a regular listener to podcast on fire for a number years and every year the content gets better and better. The research on each subject (film / director / star) is next level. I love when they review a subject that I know love but I really appreciate when the deep dive is on something I don’t know and I’ll seek the film(s) once the pod is finished.

    I would recommend this podcast to cinephiles everywhere.
