The Goldilocks of movie chat.

Some film podcasts are way too dry and feel like an autistic info-dump.
Some film podcasts are way too bro-y and feel like some morning zoo dudes making lame jokes.
This podcast strikes the balance just right. Warm, inviting, but digging deep with some sharp analysis and historical insight.

A great time with cozy classics

Daniel is a great host with an in-depth knowledge on all things cinema. I really look forward to his opinion on movies that I love as well as discovering movies that I know I’ll love!
