As stated in the description, host Vaughn covers B-to-Z cinema, cult, forgotten, etc. After his intro, he gets into the films, with a trailer or clip from each movie preceding his review. Sometimes he’ll toss a song here and there as well. There is a structure, and it is well-produced, but he is not above interruptions by family or telemarketers during a recording, and it’s kind of fun to listen in on those exchanges, mostly because he is being himself, he’s not playing anything up for the microphone.
Vaughn’s is more of a regular, everyday conversational style of reviewing; there is never the sense that he is “on” or performing, rather, he’s not unlike a friend telling you about these movies, and sometimes your friend’s kid will step in while he or she is describing the Andy Milligan flick he saw last night.
Imagine taking a lunch break with a like-minded coworker on a Monday, or meeting up with an old friend from school that you haven’t seen in a while for coffee and catch up. In either imaginary scenario, this open-book-of-a-person tells you what’s been going on in his worlds both work and personal — the good, the bad, the in-between — then tells you about some movies he’s seen recently, because you’re both into cinema. That is what listening to this podcast feels like, and that’s what I really like about it.
