“If the guest is someone interesting or at the very least charismatic (William Friedkin or Alan Arkush) then the episode will be really good.
If the guest is someone really boring, or a not awesome filmmaker then I usually skip.
Audio varies episode to episode (we need to return to a time when Skype audio was NOT acceptable for a podcast) but the real problem is that Joe Dante barely contributes in some episodes and he’s the main reason I listen.
No hate for Josh, but he has to do the thing where he LIES about the quality of a guest’s movie (Dear Evan Hansen, hello?) and play host. When Joe contributes the show really works well and I wish they’d have more classic filmmakers on. Overall an ok show, but misses more than it hits.”
