Right on

I love this podcast. As a cinephile and female filmmaker I massively enjoy listening to Rachel and Ariel go into delicious depth about both the filmmakers and films covered - it’s all so fascinating and they are excellent, smart, fun hosts. My only problem is that I cannot keep up with the films and am chomping at the bit to watch them just so I can hear the podcast! So good.

The director interviews are amazing.

Every episode is awesome, I want to hang out with these women SO HARD. But PLEASE don’t skip the Directors Cut episodes. AMAZING conversations. Where have you (Ariel, Rachel) been all my life???? Love it.
