Steven Jay Rubin’s Saturday Night At The Movies

Except for the poor sound quality, I think this podcast is the greatest. The variety of topics, Steve Rubin’s preparation, and the enthusiasm of the host and guests for the topic makes for an enlightening, engaging, and thoroughly enjoyable experience. Don’t stop!

Steve Rubin’s Saturday Night At The Movies episode featuring Leonard Maltin is a solid, enjoyable interview. Rubin and Maltin’s shared appreciation for the history and ongoing relevance of film comes through with a fascinating perspective on Maltin’s early days as a professional writer. By exploring the impact of following one’s vocational passions and the importance of mentoring among young entrants to the film review profession, Maltin’s story crosses occupational boundaries and serves as a source of encouragement for those who feel called to follow their dreams.

Good podcast, smart personable host too, but why oh why, when you have Jack O’Halloran as a guest, and he keeps trying to tell his Robert Mitchum/“Farewell My Lovely” stories does that host push for the goods on, wait for it….”Hero and the Terror?” That’s like scoring a one on one with Tom Hanks and spending the whole pressing him about filming “Turner & Hooch.”

What a great and in-depth interview - with actress that played Gretl. Fascinating insights on the movie.
