“This podcast compares seemingly disparate films in a really interesting way - I always learn something, and often treat it as simply a great way to get film recommendations! The only saddening thing is when each episode ends (I could happily listen for at least 30 more minutes each time)....”Read full review »

“I LOVE THIS SHOW SO MUCH!!! I don’t think I’ve ever said this before (and let’s be honest, I’ll probably never say it again) but this show makes me a little bummed to be a male filmmaker, because I’ll never get to be on it (I know, cry me a river white straight American man).
Thank you April!”
