  • Anti-Trump film fans? SAD!

    Such potential, but constantly tripped up by ill-informed, poorly prepared guests and - yup - tertiary stage Trump Derangement Syndrome. Guys, you can appreciate a) movies and b) this great president. SAD!

    Great choice of films - I like that they aren’t afraid to come down on commercial garbage movies - good stuff for people who are serious viewers

  • One of the oldest movie podcasts, and still one of the best

    really appreciate the variety of subjects they cover. has exposed me to films that i sometimes didn’t know existed. always germaine and erudite guests. the recent discussion on the state of podcasting and the new documentary (Age of Audio) covering it was fascinating to listen to. i’m a big supporter of Mike White’s side projects as well. over 750 episodes in! a remarkable achievement.
