- 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.
