Fantastic Podcast

Jonathon does a fantastic job delving into each movie. His guests are fantastic and bring great understanding of the movie industry. I think the concept of the podcast is absolutely fantastic. We all have movies we absolutely love BUT they all have that one part we would change. If you love movies listen to this podcast. Excited to one day hear from Trip. That guy needs to start pulling his weight. Great job Jonathon.

Fun, smart, good-faith criticism of our darlings.

Listen if you love movies and filmmaking, and if you feel that filmmaking is an art that can always be improved upon.
