almost

interesting topics and informative guests, unfortunately "mouth sounds" from the hostess make the show almost unbearable

Amazing

Ms. Giardina makes the technical aspects of cinema understandable and enjoyable. Great listen!

Great to hear from the below the line (and some above the line) crew.

I’ve listened to a few of these now and really enjoy hearing from people in various crew positions on these films. If I have one issue it’s the host. She’s very, very dry - bordering on robotic at times. Other times she seems, maybe, nervous? Her knowledge of filmmaking also seems somewhat limited (I haven’t looked her up). Still, overall, fascinating insight into the process.
