“Adnan has always been my favorite "fill-in" espnradio host. In fact, when the regular hosts of any show are off for the day, I generally change the channel - except when he hosts. I like his general vibe and his love of movies and that he would often weave movie talk into the conversation on the radio. It matches my 2 great passions - sports and movies. I had somehow missed the fact that he had started a podcast, so I was excited to see him wearing the Cinephile t-shirt when hosting Mike & Mike over the holidays. Since then, I have been catching up on the old podcasts ... have listened to over half of them.
So, here's my review (using his system). I love the interviews (4 maple leaves). I almost never agree with ANY of his Top 5 lists (1 maple leaf). His movie reviews are hit and miss, in general, for my taste. I think I would more often agree with his producer, Dan, on movie favorites (if he was rating them). I agree with the podcast review by the insurance guy from Nebraska - his Scorsese worship is a little over the top (1 maple leaf). No need to discuss Scorsese on EVERY show. Overall, I love his passion for movies (he sounds like I would if I had the opportunity to have my own podcast - just generally excited about movies and his love for cinema definitely comes through). So, I give the podcast as a whole 3.5 maple leaves. I will keep listening.”Read full review »

Even if we disagree on some of the finer points. Forrest Gump is the greatest movie of...”Read full review »
