Customer Reviews
Macguffin’s Got the Stuffin’
I subscribe to a handful of pop culture podcasts and this one blows them away. Most of these podcasts give an opinion and blab about the subject, but with the Mcguffin Report, the commentators always have something interesting to say. While I’m not too thrilled with the occasional voice-modified segues, this is more than made up for by consistently compelling dialogue.
For all you movie buffs
Great podcast with great insight on the movie industry today! With the ever-changing landscape of content creation and consumption, this podcast offers a fresh take on the film industry as a whole.
Can’t wait for more episode!! 🎬💫📽🎞
Fun & Informative
I just listened to the first episode of The Macguffin Report and can say I'm already a big fan! The hosts have poignant, culturally-relevant insights that left me thinking more deeply about the composition of this year's Oscar-winning films. It was informative and entertaining from beginning to end. Highly recommend.
