  • This is a fascinating deep dive into the filmography of Amblin.

    I’ve seen some of the movies either in their entirety or bits and pieces of when I was growing up in the 2000s-2010s.

  • Great revisit of classic and not-so-classic movies

    This podcast is a lot of fun. Amblin' movies had a huge impact on anyone who grew up loving movies, especially in the 80's and 90's. So great to listen to them discuss their details about the movies and their reactions to them, whether they're classics like "E.T." and "Back to the Future" or ones few have seen like "Dad."
