What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

Danielle Harris’ ep brought me here and I stayed around and binged the rest of the pod and am now a weekly listener. I’m also a filmmaker / recovering actor and appreciate their depth, de-glamorizing the process, and how infectious they make filmmaking feel, despite the frustrating and ephemeral nature of it all — especially in 2025.

What a ferociously detailed podcast about movies that I’ve grown up watching & adore!! It’s been an epic journey to watch and an epic journey to comprehend the breakdown of behind the scenes! Great podcast, much appreciated!!

NLavender · Oct 2025

These guys are so fun to listen to. You can tell how genuine they are and they just seem like a blast to hang with. Addison is great as well! There’s always interesting guests and quality conversation. I’m excited to see what this movie ends up being!!

I’m so glad that I caught wind of this podcast when I did. Darren & Josh are fonts of information and inside knowledge about filmmaking. I think the idea of making a movie from scratch and podcasting the whole process is brilliant. I am all in on this project and can’t wait to see it develop. I think you guys should include Derek Mears in whatever capacity because he’s truly one of the most positive energies I’ve ever seen. You guys are already on the right track with the ideas and I’m certain that whatever comes of this, it’s going to be a fascinating journey.
