Customer Reviews
First time listener
I found you through the Picard No Win Scenario ep review. I will be listening to more. I was very affected by the connections made. I’ve had a few of those over the years with Trek in particular and I suppose…that’s why we kind of don’t let go of it. Somehow it’s like being seen in a way you don’t always experience just in regular life. I suppose that is what raises it to true art. When they make the connection with you. I have no idea why but that feels…healthy.
Awesome podcast from actual Hollywood writers
This podcast would be awesome if it was just two friends with cool accents talking about film. But Will and Kevin are actually working Hollywood writers.
The Best (Bits) Podcast
This a fantastic podcast and never fails to entertain, inform, and garner me strange looks from passers-by when I randomly and frequently burst out laughing at the banter, am weeping at muppets mourning Jim Henson or am getting all soft and misty eyed at ‘ditto’. You’ll laugh, you’ll cry, and you might even learn some fascinating bits of film history along the way. Go on, give it a go, you’ll love it.
