  • Long, Passionate Conversations

    Jen and her guests always wax poetic about old stars and genre movies. They are sweet nectar for film geeks who want to know they are not alone in loving film. My favorite episode was the Robert Mitchum remembrance and the Coen Bros. episode on creativity.

  • Great discussions

    I love the breadth of film topics Jen discusses - I always end up with an exciting new watchlist. She is such a great interviewer as well and deeply knowledgeable about film. I’ve listened to other podcasts where the host interrupts guests repeatedly and can’t listen because it’s too annoying. Not trying to be negative, just want to highlight how great Jen is at letting her guests share their insights. She gets so many great writers and filmmakers too - love it!
