  • New favorite Podcast

    This is my new favorite podcast. After listening to tons of YT channels and podcasts where all they do is crack jokes and talk about Independence Day for the 10th time; I finally found something with more depth, substance and love for filmmaking. Adrian and Rod are very knowledgeable and love all kinds of film and nerdery but are not snobby about it at all. I always come out learning something new and appreciate all the films they talk about. Thank you.
