Customer Reviews
Hybrid gem
Chanced upon this podcast when it was posted as an alternate amongst the Golic and Wingo shows. Always entertaining, with good guests and banter. Adnan brings a sport enthusiast’s interest in stats and performance to the world of film (previous credits etc) plus conveys it all at a good clip, as if he were calling a baseball game. Confident enough not to take itself too seriously, it sits comfortably in the twilight zone between sports and art, where great drama and humour can be wrung out of both.
Where are the Movies?
Great content but seems to talk more about TV/Streaming shows theses days. I know cinemas are closed but...
Adnan made me a Cinephile
This podcast is hosted by the most passionate cinephile. I’ve been listening to Adnan for years, each episode I learn more about films I love and find new ones to enjoy.
Adnan is the only host who can get away with talking about such luminaries like DeNiro and Scorsese as Bob and Marty.
Note - After listening to this pod regularly you’ll pronounce Scorsese correctly.
Keep up the great work and love all the award season inside knowledge.
If it was possible, I’d give you 4 maple leafs but had to settle for 5 stars.
