Where the Long Tail Ends is a website dedicated to finding old, obscure and possibly awful films that are adrift in the sea of pop culture.
Helping to fulfill that mission are the three podcasts offered by Where the Long Tail Ends. Spoiler Alert!, which is dedicated to reviewing newer films that catch our interest, the Cabin in the Woods Film Festival Podcast in which Matt forces Angela Fabbrini to watch a horror film and then verbally dodge her rage and of course, High and Low (Brow), which is the signature podcast for the website. It is a themed podcast where Matt Gamble and James Gillham discuss everything under the sun, and sometimes even get around to talking about movies.

Customer Reviews
Awesome!!
I love these episodes! They are very entertaining to listen to unlike most podcasts. The movies they talk about are very interesting and gives you a different view on the movie then what you saw. I love that they have a sense of humor and aren't just sitting talking to a microphone. They make you laugh. I find it very unique that they don't just talk about newer movies but also older ones that most people don't think about. I will be listening to them a lot more!
Many more highs than lows
Each podcast, Matt and James discuss a pair of films, often on completely different ends on the spectrum of respectability, that share a common theme. Often the conversation ranges between insightful and hilarious, sometimes both at the same time, as they try to grapple with how the themes are addressed and the success or failure of the films. Sometimes with surprising conclusions. Well worth a listen, especially on a topic near and dear to your interests.
