Customer Reviews
Always informative and entertaining
Ian shares great insight and information about films in every genre and age. With wonderful guests. Enjoying the show!
Great Show!
Wonderfully thought out and executed. Structured but free flowing at the same time.
One for the Ages
Cult Connections is an impressively enjoyable listen, covering a wide array of topics that will leave even the most timid CinemaHead feeling interested, engaged, and entertained. Never losing a great sense of friendly conversation; Ian covers such vast range of topics, from the sands of Tatooine to the stalls of Albion Market, there really is both something for everyone and “references for no one”, which is my personal favorite of Ian’s seemingly emerging catchphrases. Ian and his guests continual talent and humor have cemented this show as one of my daily podcast stops. Wether you’re a fan of Metal Mickey, Michael Myers, or Judge Dredd (aren’t we all?); there truly is a Cult Connections episode that has you covered.
Ps. All Albion, All the time. Just a suggestion.
