  • What a World of Cinema

    Only a show like this could act as a tour guide as they open so many doors in this Mansion of Cinema (I agree with Will that’s a great saying) I love the condensed nature with episodes being less than an hour and very in depth. Thank you both for making my commutes entertaining and informative!

  • I love Will Sloan

    I came to this podcast for Will Sloan, but unfortunately I find Justin insufferable. His plastic, painted on, exaggerated personality reminds me of why I can’t stand Last Podcast on the Left. If the subject is interesting enough for me I can usually make it through an episode, but even then, Justin always manages to fray my last nerve and I’m forced to turn it off. All three stars are for Will.

  • My current favorite film podcast

    The topics range from the bizarre to the absurd to the absurd to Chaplin but no podcast has made me laugh at discussions of the above since Gilbert Gottfried’s untimely death. I don’t even watch Kevin Smith movies and he’s now my favorite film topic.
