  • Trust me. A filmmaker & film lover must-listen!

    Jordan is such a delight to listen to. Plenty of film industry insight, wit and charm to spare. But he spares nothing, leaves every ounce of it in every episode. I especially love how he collaborates with his entire family to bring this fun production to us every week. Get into it, thank me later!
