“I absolutely love this podcast. Almost every episode is amazing. But the Darren Aaronofsky and William Friedkin episode seems so uncomfortable for Darren. William is direct and blunt I get that but I can’t stand the way he conducts interviews. I can’t imagine him on set talking to actors and krew...”Read full review »

“Awesome podcast and invaluable for those working in the film & tv industry. Informative, funny and a diverse range of interviewees too. It makes such a huge difference when the interviewer is immersed in the industry and it’s fascinating history as much as the guests. Keep up the fine work. A...”Read full review »

“Unlike too many shows that advertise as ‘behind the scenes’ this podcast is the real deal. Most of the shows actually give you insight into how the ideas of a particular filmmaker came to fruition on the screen.
Only quibble is that sometimes the sound quality is a bit sketchy.”

“Please don’t ever, ever invite William Friedkin back on. Have just listened to the mother! episode from 2017 and he’s an absolute nightmare. Props to Aronofsky for keeping his cool.
Also, consider providing Zoom guests with appropriate recording equipment. It’s been difficult to listen to the...”Read full review »

“Great interviews we can listen to in this podcast! Congrats! How about diversifying a little! Greta Gerwig could interview Regina King, for instance! Barry Jenkins could interview a female director!
If we are going to assume inclusivity, we should go all the way!”

“The two stars are off cause it is hard to listen to as the audio is overprocessed. Could DGA look into it please. I think what you are doing is you are running a hum removal, a noice removal, a compressor and that creates this modulating effect. A little hum and noise is much better than an...”Read full review »

“Listen to yourself. As if Melina has you to thank for the success of her film bc you flew out to interview her and grace her with your support of the film. Please. My guess is she had to hold back eye rolls at your colorblind comments about the film that was over your head. Still, I’m sure she’ll...”Read full review »

“Great stuff. But too short. When you get Paul Thomas Anderson interviewing Quentin Tarantino, it should longer than 30 minutes. Much longer. And the sound quality can sometimes be poor. Listening to Olivia Wilde and Nicole Holofcener, I could not hear most of what Holofcener said. Still a 4...”Read full review »

“Love this podcast. Because the questions come from their peers, it’s an unbelievable amount of information for a film lover that a standard press junket interview wouldn’t come anywhere close to giving you.

“Short but informative episodes featuring big-name Hollywood directors? I can’t believe I hadn’t heard about this before now! The biggest drawback here is that there is often a lot of self-congratulatory talk going on, albeit in between actual interesting, insightful, and informative discussion.”
