Great Interviews & Reviews

Not only does Adnan have an incredible competence to review films, he is also one of greatest interviewers out there. Leaving this review after the Barry Sonnenfeld episode, Adnan’s pointed questions led to some great stories (Danny DeVito at the urinal). A compilation of past interviews would make a great series of episodes!

Not again Who Dat ,

Awkward

And loving it

TigersJC86 ,

It’s fine but

I appreciate he sees all kinds of movies but the Scorsese obsession gets real old real fast. The Tom cruise hate is also borderline weird-I understand why, Hollywood is full of sleeze and all kinds of skeletons in closets-just review the movies
