Eloquent, entertaining, informative, and funny. I absolutely love listening to the screening room and never miss an episode. Such good insights and information from someone who clearly has a knowledge of and passion for cinema.
Love this pod!
Kaveh J, known for his outstanding journalistic pursuits at Under The Radar and formerly of the Love To See It Podcast has finally broken out on his own and the results are epic.
