  • Great contribution.

    I love that magic moment in Jason’s interviews when it seems to dawn on the person being interviewed that ‘this guy actually knows what he’s talking about and wants to have an intelligent discussion!’ Great contribution to screen culture in Australia.

  • Excellent interviews but would love more reviews

    The filmmakers obviously love his passion and intelligence, so the interviews with Jason are great. But I’m actually more interested in film reviews, so tend not to listen as regularly as I could.
