Title

Funny show when there isn’t a guest.
This is not a bad movie podcast. It’s about any movie that had crazy behind the scenes issues. The host tells them the stories of what happens and the two react to it in often amusing ways. There are episodes that are so funny you will listen to more then once.
However, there are episodes where they try to get serious and bring in guests that wrote a book on the movie or was the screen writer. Those are often some of the most boring episodes. Skip the latest Dune episode as it was the worst since that unreleased Batman one. They will often let the guest take over and it’s kills the flow of the show. Let the host tell the stories. He does a great job.
This has much more entertaining episodes then bad ones. If you see special guest in the title, unless you really like movie skip the episode.
I would suggest you start with Roar, or quantum of solace, or the Simpson movie. Those are very funny and interesting to listen to once or twice.
My absolute favorite podcast about movies
Please please please can you guys put these puppies out more frequently
