  • Highly recommend to anyone who likes film.

He covers a plethora of topics including animation, technological achievements and policy change. I highly recommend this podcast to anyone who likes film! He took a long hiatus and I am excited to hear the podcast is returning wi... more

  • Great podcast

    I’m fascinated by both history and cinema and I very much enjoy an amateur podcaster who is learning along with the audience. This is well researched and engagingly presented with a tone that is light but not flippant. Hugely enjoyable.
