Podcast Description
Jon Tilton (the American) and Simon Miraudo (the Australian). Two strangers from opposite sides of the globe, united by the cornerstones of Web 2.0 (Twitter, Facebook and Skype). Putting aside decades of international tension (mostly sparked by that episode of the Simpsons where Bart moons the Aussie Prime Minister), Jon and Simon examine the weird and wonderful world of film from their unique perspectives. Funny, honest, easily distracted, well-informed (kind of). At the very least, they always endeavour to keep the conversation Trending Cinema.
