Customer Reviews
Immensely Entertaining
I've been a Jeff Wells reader since the early days at Mr. Showbiz, and I never thought he and Sasha Stone would have such chemistry. Great first episode, and I love the leisurely pace. I only wish I could join in the conversation!!!
oscar poker review
Exceeds my expectations. Everything you could ask for and more. The most articulate of its genre.
Bravo
Jeffrey Wells is an acerbic, challenging, insightful, and unique voice and a true film fan (even if he didn't head-over-heels love Never Let Me Go, everyone is entitled to a few missteps!). I'm excited to see him leap into the world of podcasts. The first episode is very interesting and well worth a listen. Sasha Stone is in top form, too. If you're interested in the Oscar race, or just film in general, this is a must.
