Movies: They're Pretty Good!
A podcast for film buffs from a lifelong fan of cinema. Every week I discuss one of my favorite films, with a few new ones sprinkled in here and there. I break down the film and talk about the parts that stick out to me. I also like to keep it casual and not take things too seriously, so the is a fair amount of comedy as well. If you’re a fan of movies, from the classics to the modern era, this podcast is for you!
Episodes
