“I loved the first season on the show and somehow totally missed the launch of the second season. I’m floored. In life, I’m far less invested in the story of James Cameron, but in this show? I’m ALL IN. It’s spectacular. I’m an audio fiction producer and researcher - it’s so refreshing to hear...”Read full review »

“The research is so well done, the sound design is brilliant, and the voice acting is flawlessly executed through the story. It is evident that this show takes a lot of work and collaboration and I have to say that the pay off is definitely worth it.”

“I absolutely love this show. I am fairly new to podcasting, and have appeared on some, but I love the radio drama skit aspect to it. The impersonations like Schwarzenegger and Stallone are stellar. I have a request. John Carpenter. He really never had a blockbuster after Halloween but he has...”Read full review »

“My family and I have listened (and re listened) to Blockbuster on our summer road trips for the past 3 years! I won’t knock off a star, but the language in the second season is a bit explicit for kids. Can’t wait for another season - Peter Jackson and The Lord of the Rings, please!!!”

“I’m not really old enough to have experienced radio shows before color TV but from what I understand, they were produced similarly to this impressive effort. Well done!”

“This podcast is all show. There is no new information. If you’ve read books like Easy Riders, Raging Bulls, you know everything that is presented here. The sound design is annoying. Th films of Lucas and Spielberg are about SFX, but this podcast ignores them completely.”
