Great podcast for anyone interested in classic Hollywood films

I’m always looking for more info and discussion on classic Hollywood. This podcast has been a very welcome addition to my playlist over the last couple months. Very well done.

Great one for classic film buffs

Love the concept. It’s great to reflect upon movies I love and it has me reconsidering ones I hadn’t given much of a chance. Can’t wait to hear more.
