Knitwit Amy ,

Great listen!

I love the blend of conversation, information, and humour. Listening to this podcast has rekindled not only my love of movies, but my love of the movie industry and learning about what went in to making these films. The hosts do a great job of not just talking about movies, but contextualizing them as well. Highly recommend!

My current favourite

Jessica, John, and Tom balance a deep knowledge of movies and movie-making with their genuine love for film. Their discussions stay on point and move briskly forward. I look forward to each episode, please keep’em coming!
