Amazing podcast

Best film podcast ever. Very entertaining and affectionate look at movie new and old.

Mr. Michael ,

The Naked Kiss episode is …

an absolute home run. Loved hearing what you all had to say about it and Fuller. So spot on and you get this singular film and genius director. Great to hear the interviews w M Dante and Miss Towers too. You guys are the best.

What happened to this channel??? This has turned into indie Entertainment Tonight!

This podcast was one of the best, if not the best, movie podcasts." In-depth" didn't even begin to describe its quailty-take the best film school conversation you've ever had with a fellow cineaste, focus on one film, go moment by moment weith that film, then top it off with one-on-one interviews with the creates behind it. It was a staggering achievement and I wold proudly play episode after episode, and liste,n and LEARN. Now? Now it is an empty shell of what it was. The in-depth movie discussions have been replaced with PR-led interviews for upcoming movies, with zero ciritques givem zero insight given. WHAT HAPPENED? The days of the fur-hour reviews are long gone, replaced with something so lightweight itr= reminds of an indie Entertainment Tonight! I'd like to personally say "shame on you" to Mike White for forgetting what his channel is. Bring back the movies and DROP the shilling!
