Customer Reviews
Live this Podcast! Engaging and knowledgeable
I love listening to this while I work.
The hosts do such a great job of explaining the costumes and relevant information on the topic they’re discussing!
I feel like I’m just talking with my friends and listening to them while they explain the art! It’s stuff I find interesting but don’t know in great detail. So I love that they explain and help see things I would have seen or connected otherwise.
It’s not an in-depth review on a full movie and EVERYTHING about it. It’s about costumes! I love that and I know what to expect when listening. I’m not expecting a full review on a musical or movie, that’s not what this podcast is.
The hosts Sarah and Jojo are very knowledgeable in their field and help break it down for us while still making it enjoyable to listen to. Cant wait for more to come!
Good, but a little underbaked
This podcast has potential. It would benefit from a little more research and preparation into the movies and their context beyond the costumes. The hosts are clear about pointing out when they don’t know something, that is commendable. But a little more homework would strengthen their ability to contextualize the costumes within the film and within its wider history and culture.
Fun dive into the art of the movies!
I thoroughly enjoy this podcast, it’s an interesting detailed discussion of the costume work done in some of my fav and classic movies!
After listening to Sarah & Jojo I am inspired to watch or revisit the films they discuss.
I wouldn’t consider myself costume-fanatic but I am a fan of movies, especially exceptionally visual ones, and I am always pleased listening to an episode.
One more thing I’d like to add, this is a very soothing podcast to listen to. Sarah and Jojo are smart and witty, there are no ads, sound effects or gags other podcasts might have, so it’s a nice refreshing, more stripped down listen; great for an afternoon relax listen.
