Great No Matter Where You Are on Your Film Journey

When it comes to obtaining knowledge on classic cinema there are quite a few podcasts to give your attention, but what I enjoy most about Silver Screen Time Machine is that no matter where you are on your journey to classic cinema knowledge you can find something here to grab your interest. Between Wendy’s great research, the insight from her various guests, and the fact you are never told the ending makes this podcast not only have you thinking but also curious and wanting more. It certainly helped me broaden my movie horizons and watch films I would have never wanted to give my time. This is very much worth your time and attention.
