  • Just began listening

    In the Abbott and Costello podcast, you referred to the duo as Lou Abbott and Bud Costello. That kind of makes me not want to listen any further.

  • Love, Love, Love This Podcast

    Fantastic look at the history of film from someone who truly loves and appreciates it. Katelyn’s style is breezy and accessible, but don’t let that fool you. She knows what she’s talking about and can relate even decades-old events to contemporary ones. Bonus points for this not being a “one or two folks sit at the microphone and babble” podcast. This one is planned, researched, and delivered. Look forward to each week’s episode.

  • So interesting

    This pod is so good. It’s very well researched and the host gives just enough personal info to be warm and friendly but not so much that’s she’s boring.

  • Easy listening and Informative 🫶🏻

    Very well organized and executed. I learn something new every episode, if not several new things.

    When you said your favorite actor is Gary Oldman (me too!!). I just knew I’d like to hear what you have to share with us. I was right, keep up the great work.
