What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

I first started listening to Kevin when he was known as BDK on the Junkies sports radio show in Washington, DC. He should be incredibly proud of the career he has built for himself. Few have worked as hard as him to earn a well-deserved reputation for producing some of the most engaging and well-informed interviews and reviews in the business. Keep up the good work Kevin. You’re exceptional at what you do.

Donketydonk · Jul 2026

Kevin’s passion for the art of filmmaking is the driving force in curating this fantastic series. The interviews are far more complex and personal than the atypical podcast format usually leans toward - featuring meaningful conversations for any film enthusiast (or not). There are few critics in this industry who demonstrate a real understanding of the craft, or who even care to trifle with the foundation of Kevin’s perpetual curiosity. Bravo.

El Diablo cinematic · Jan 2026

If you love movies but more importantly love it when the interviewer genuinely loves the job, the industry, and can actively listen and ask just outstanding questions. This is the podcast. Seriously Kevin’s interview skills are masterful bc he listens and yet gets the person to tell us engaging answers. It’s a wonderful thing when you get this dynamic of active listener and engaged conversation. If you don’t already know Kevin reviews movies which are also fantastic.

eldude1277 · Nov 2025

I’ve been following Kevin since the early days of ReelBlend, and he’s one of the most passionate, intelligent interviewers I’ve seen in any field. So excited for more of this show, because his passion created my own passion for film. Incredible first episode!
