his newer podcasts are on patreon for $2 a month. Great content although you have to be warned that he sometimes gets highly repetitive. You'll hear the same monologue about the death of movies, the yearning to be young in the late 70s, and frustration with people that hate him on Twitter. still has great insight, style, and quality guests. if you want a real behind-the-scenes look at what goes on in the movie industry there's no better place.
