This is a superb example of everything great about podcasts. John Bleasdale has cornered an overlooked but vibrant market (books about films) which has allowed him to line up a guest list as diverse and wide-ranging as cinema itself. His deep knowledge of and love for the movies is infectious,...Read full review »

One of the best podcasts out there. Knowledgeable people talking to a knowledgeable host . Be prepared to be charmed into parting with a few bob on the books that get discussed. I look forward to every episode.

A promising start from the always excellent John Bleasdale. Most film podcasts don’t contain the charm, intelligence or film knowledge that this has in its nail clippings. It is an embarrassment of riches. Great stuff.

Tired of podcasts like “top 10 things you didn’t know about Iron Man”? Then this is for you. Proper grown ups with years of experience talking about movies that sometimes were made decades ago. If you love cinema, you’ll love this. It’s like listening to grand masters, can’t wait for more 👍🏻
