My Favorite Film Podcast Ever

I re-listen to this show constantly. It was the perfect confluence of friendly banter, editing, and insight. Always great topics and such a great dynamic between the hosts. Wish it was still going strong. This is the show that inspired me to make YouTube reviews. If anyone knows how I could get in touch with John Jansen- it would be a dream to interview him on my show and talk movies.

Vanguard of podcast boom

I still listen to episodes from these guys 15 years after their first episode. The production of these shows really made others suffer by comparison. The passion for film really comes through every episode. It’s a shame they don’t make any new ones but they really stand up to revisiting. The Shape of Fear I’ve listened to so many times.
Andy and John were amongst the first of podcasters and even though there aren’t any new ones, I feel fortunate that I have the older episodes whenever I want them. Thanks fellas.
