Customer Reviews
A podcast that shows what the business is really like
Growing up, I had always been fascinated with movies from how they are made to sheer entertainment value but I would watch the credits and have no clue what all of those positions really are. This podcast does a great job of having real people in the industry talk about the nitty gritty. All of the guests have worked on your favorite projects but might not be the notable names your immediately familiar with immediately but they are the people that make the projects. The hosts Josh and Kevin ask the real questions you might not even thought of. This is a no BS podcast. You are missing out by not subscribing. Keep up the awesome work.
Great Listen
Weather you’re in the industry or looking to get in, this is a solid listen with tons of information. The guests have been diverse and experienced giving you a solid look into their job on set.
Impressive guests!
