“An educated and passionate look into the cinema of a world that deserve exposure and dissection. Well put together and well executed in such a manner that you will find yourself looking into history that you may have relegated to the sidelines prior.”

“What a fun and enjoyable podcast. The topic is quite fascinating but the Russian culture can be intimidating, yet this podcast helps the listener to break through the mysticism of Russian culture. Over all I quite enjoyed this podcast. Solid recommend.”

“I know the producer, but that doesn't detract from the eclectic range of films and the interesting and enjoyable conversations. One of my favourite film podcasts. Could do with being mixed a little louder, but, ya know, nothing's perfect.”Read full review »
