Customer Reviews
A great show about how crazy Hollywood can be
This is my favorite podcast. Ian, Rae and Clint not only offer behind the scenes information on the crazy business that is film making, but they do so in the funniest manner. It’s like sitting down and listening to friends cut up and get lost in great conversation. I highly recommend the podcast, and I also recommend checking out the YouTube channel for even more great commentary. Keep up the great work
Title
Check out h YouTube channel too
Funny show when there isn’t a guest.
This is not a bad movie podcast. It’s about any movie that had crazy behind the scenes issues. The host tells them the stories of what happens and the two react to it in often amusing ways. There are episodes that are so funny you will listen to more then once.
However, there are episodes where they try to get serious and bring in guests that wrote a book on the movie or was the screen writer. Those are often some of the most boring episodes. Skip the latest Dune episode as it was the worst since that unreleased Batman one. They will often let the guest take over and it’s kills the flow of the show. Let the host tell the stories. He does a great job.
This has much more entertaining episodes then bad ones. If you see special guest in the title, unless you really like movie skip the episode.
I would suggest you start with Roar, or quantum of solace, or the Simpson movie. Those are very funny and interesting to listen to once or twice.
