Customer Reviews
Awesome show! Sound quality dicey….
Great show, lots of info. All the guests seem very knowledgeable about their subjects, and are quite entertaining. My issue is it sounds like some of these guests are recording their responses in a phone booth circa 1989.
Bridges the Gap Between Fact and Fiction
This is a valuable show and a bit underrated when you consider that Americans watch more movies than we read books. Dan takes the time to bridge the gaps between Hollywood entertainment and historical facts. If you want to learn history from a relatable point of reference, this is a must-subscribe show for you!
Interesting Stories Told Well
Always interesting to hear the true story behind a Movie, truth is often stranger than fiction.
