“Listened to Joe Cornish episode and the host was woefully underprepared - didn’t know much about the guest or his work, kept calling his film ‘Attack of the Block,’ got confused about Iron Man. Interview was a mess.
Do some research!”

“The 4-5 episodes I’ve chosen to listen to so far have all have very good information from the guest speakers that really know their stuff. However, three issues affect this podcast: 1. The sound quality of the speakers. I know these are busy people that don’t have much time, but I REALLY want to...”Read full review »

“The nasal VO announcer will pick at your brain over time. This podcast is just an opportunity for the host to tell some decades-old, quasi relevant story about his proximity to the industry, and how a trailer made waves over 20 years ago. And penis enlargement ads should tell you what this host...”Read full review »

“I get it. This is a business. But you can tell that the business is more important than the experience. You will be inundated with all sorts of stuff you don’t need. And their recent choice of guest makes me wonder why I bothered listening at all. Kevin Sorbo? Seriously? Lol.”

“I really do understand that ads are how they make their revenue, but the sheer amount of ads in one episode is rough. Especially when they are repeating the same ads over and over. Also, would also love if they had more women, gender expansive, and people of color on. That aside, the host is...”Read full review »

“This podcast, the host, it’s content and guests are phenomenal. But the commercials are absolutely maddening. I’d rather pay a subscription than endure these commercials.”

“Simple. Read the title. The resources this provides are priceless. The host is brilliant and carries the show well. The commercials ruin the flow of the show. Makes it hard to listen to a whole show.”

“This has been a wealth of knowledge for me as a new screenwriter, and I’m trying incorporate everything I can. I started at the beginning, and I’m 44 episodes in after 2 weeks. It is a journey, and the all the guests, insider info, film, workshop, and book recommendations are there to guide me.”

“It would be 4 stars if not for the commercials. Best explanation would be he insists on paying all his guests and he does it by playing constant ads. If he gets people to come on for free but still has these many ads… not cool.”

“Cool guests but the interviewer is utter trash. Has no idea what he’s talking about. Laughs at everything. Panders to every guest and adds absolutely nothing. Talks over them. Just a hack who never made it in Hollywood and for some reason has the ability to get guests. You also hear him breathing...”Read full review »

“Just listened to my first episode with Paul Chitlik. Great takeaways for rewrites. Also loved Alex’s tip on writing 3 screenplays and wait until you’re finished with the third before you start revising the first one. The key is you’ll be a better writer by that time. Well done. 👏”
