The Only Shame is NOT Listening

Any movie fan, at any level, has a film or films that they somehow just never got too. Showing the care, appreciation and insight that he always puts in his writing, James creates a terrific place to explore & discuss those first watches and how they affect us.

Great show!

Great podcast for film fanatics that dives deep into the history of each topic/movie being explored. Not too dense for the casual fan either. Love this show.

Wait, you haven't seen.....?

A brilliant concept for a podcast, Cinema Shame is about movie lovers finally tackling a movie that they've never seen before. I highly recommend it!
