Customer Reviews
Love, love, love
I’m loving this podcast so much! It’s such a friendly and chilled out place to hang out. I’m finding out so many new things, about the old Hollywood movies that I love.
Lots of fun
Great choices and really interesting snippets from behind the scenes. I’ve never really noticed the costumes of the films but now watch out for how the costumier dresses the cast. I’m re- watching with all the background fabulosity highlighted for me. Thank you. Just FYI Cary Grant was not born and bred in the bronx. Thank England for this joyous star x
Stop saying ‘like’!
Interesting subject matter but the two hosts say ‘like’ almost every other word making it impossible to listen to for me. They good do with a bit of radio presenting training
