Much of our local cinema landscape is dominated by critiques and analysis by fundis and gurus. This show speaks to the magic of movies and the pure joy it brings to our lives. Film is a rest stop where we delight in a quick treat, a slap chips or a gourmet meal before continue on our roadtrip that is life and this show gets that.
Went to the bioscope and was introduced to the podcast… wow wow wow ! Love that you are sharing your movie knowledge. So much appreciated 😂.
Love the idea behind the podcast and the fact that it’s accessible to people who haven’t been to film school. It is very topical, though, so if you’re not listening every week, you may miss some of the shows being talked about.
