Mixed Reviews
"Mixed Reviews" with Tom McMahon, Jackson Brotherton, and Jordan Vairo is a podcast that doesn't review a movie based on opinions, but instead explain from both a filmmaker's and viewer's perspective what made it good or bad. We provide insights that go beyond ratings, teach filmmaking techniques and just have fun conversation. New episodes every other week.
