  • Infuriated by thoughtless spoiler

    I listened to the episode on 28 years later :The Bone Temple. Edith gave away a massive spoiler about the end of the film. It was obvious what and whom she was referring to. Totally spoiled it. Very disappointed 👎

  • Good Show!

    Good show, a lot of great research and good questions. Edith is a good interviewer but often gets in the way of the answers with hysterical laughter, often for seemingly no reason except for too much coffee perhaps. I could also do without the long intros prior to cutting to the guests, get on with it!

  • Not enough about soundtracks

    What started out as a very interesting podcast about film and television soundtracks has shifted to more general star and director interviews.
