This series is SO GOOD!

Film Freaks Forever is one of those rare podcast series that is worth going back and listening to from the very first episode. Mark and Phoef have a contagious enthusiasm for the films they present, and they really play off each other well. I was skeptical about an audio podcast being able to cover a visual medium, but their stories, paired with the clips, makes you really feel like you’re experiencing the movies with them. And regular listeners will recognize how their enthusiasm and their love for film, and for all the people involved in making them, quickly became their catch phrase that can equally be applied to the podcast itself: “It’s SO GOOD!
