Gen X movie buff crack

I would prefer that Dan Thomas be on every episode but that’s my only complaint.

Big Fan from across the Pond

I have absolutely loved the episodes with John and Dan Thomas and I’m currently working my way through the earlier episodes. Such a fun podcast and gave me a better appreciation for the Bond films…just not the Daniel Craig ones.

Simply the BEST

John Rain’s Smershpod (and Wheezing Groaning Pod) have provided me with hours of laughter and endless joy hearing him and his guests dive into the history & hilarity of the films and TV I grew up with (and many I didn’t). Hands down my favorite pods, bar none. (Jon Owen/Steam Battalions).
