A Concept Followed Through

This podcast relies on a excellent concept for a show. The good news? It follows through with knowledge and humor.

They’ll Get You Talking

Alan and James clearly love movies and want to discuss them. What I enjoy most is how they carefully dissect a film and acknowledge that a movie may not stand the test of time, but is still one they enjoy. I don’t always agree with their final verdict, but the joy is in the journey. If nothing else, the conversations they have with each other get me talking about the movies they watch, and that is always a good time.
