Customer Reviews
Good podcast
Listening to Martin Scorsese series right now. Gives valuable insight into the process that I didn’t know!
Fantastic
This is a unique podcast when compared to others. Top of the notch choice for cinephiles - beginners and experienced - by a true cinephile.
Questionable expertise
Had to check notes to see who directed M? Atmosphere is new to Double Indemnity? What about Universal horror films in the 30s? Needs better analysis.
