As a former graveyard shift worker at Video Slezy Castle Hill The Last Video Store podcast is an absolute treat!

JonJSwanson via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/12/24
“The Last Video Store” is one of my favourite podcasts! I learn so much about the history of cinema; soak in the nostalgia of an era when cinephiles had time to dissect movies endlessly; and love the undercurrent of kindness that always underpins the chat. Alexei is a hilarious host that always...Read full review »

As is to be expected, Alexei completely knocks it out of the park with this wonderfully formatted film podcast!

Thornley via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 08/19/24
I love Alexei’s insightful movie perspectives! The premise of the series is amazing and Alexei is a great host and interviewer. He doesn’t need a gimmick like hot wings to hold the conversation.

Dapper Dan95 via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 07/05/24
Alexei may sound like a proud Greek cinephile but I'd recognise that voice anywhere as the Korean mother of 7 who ran off with her lamaze conducter. Come home, honey. Dinner won't cook itself and young Kim is huffing glue again. In the meantime, I'll take an overnight rental of Weird:...Read full review »
