  • Great film choices, great hosts!

    I like a lot of cult film podcasts, but this has quickly become one of my favorites. The main reason? The hosts. They have such a great chemistry and a clear love for the films they talk about. Plus, I discovered HONK! magazine because of them, and it’s my absolute favorite thing ever 🤘

  • Join the Underground

    Equally insightful, enthused, informative and endearing - not to mention occasionally off-the-rails - if you’re the kind of person who can effortlessly jump between discussing Pre-Code Hollywood, 80s Italian trash, 70s adult cinema, SOV oddities and occasional dips into all things Arthouse (it wouldn’t hurt if you’re into wine, cheese and random science facts) Mike and Tara will quickly feel like old friends.

34. In Conversation with Tina Krause (W.A.V.E. Productions)
Q: How does a new movie for you work? Is it a director you've worked with before?
A lot of times it's people I've worked with before, and I know ahead of time what they're going to be doing or it's people that have contacted me through directors I've worked with.
