  • Too hip to be square

    Just threw myself into the Scott Derrickson episode and wow, what a cool podcast for cinephiles the world over. The chemistry between the three hosts adds a personal feel that most podcasts lack these days. And their knowledge about the movies discussed is enviable. Looking forward to more episodes.

  • A fantastic film discovery podcast

    took a little while to iron out some technical kinks but I have discovered so many new movies through this podcast and also heard sharp, articulate, illuminating discussions about films I HAVE seen as well.

    Loved 80s all over, yet, I have to settle for this?! The audio quality is unforgivable and unlistenable.
