“A cosy little podcast this is. Offers good tidbits and facts about our fave movies. No negativity and no whiny, ticky box, woke agendas like every other podcast. Just pure info on the movie in the title. Perfect”

“I love this podcast. Simon does an excellent job recounting the stories of how movies got made, but the episodes that include interviews are shockingly poor quality. There is no excuse for such a good podcast, running for this long, not to have its interview audio quality fixed by now. Learn how...”Read full review »

“As a massive Ghostbusters fan I’ve tried again to listen to the podcast. I gave up some time ago as Simon’s interview episodes are painful to listen to. Part Alan Partridge / part Headteacher; not listening to the guests, cringe worthy questions & generally being toe curling bad. Listening to...”Read full review »

He’s knowledgeable about films and digs deep in his research to find out the truth behind the making of the movies he’s so passionate about. I love that I’ve found this show and it’s now one of...”Read full review »
