The Movies That Made Me - Podcast Rankings and reviews

Everyone praises Dante’s encyclopedic film knowledge but Olson is at the least wikipedic. We’re treated to a wide range of film industry guests, each revealing the surprising choices of films that inspired them. And I love that the show (mostly) avoids talking about whatever current production the guest has been publicizing in other venues. The hosts’ anecdotes about troubled productions or trouble actors are quite entertaining, as is hearing about deep cuts that inevitably pop up in every show. I wish they’d do more segments devoted to listeners’ questions. I have no idea how to submit some.

Loved the banter with Robert Picardo on East Falls, Allens Lane, Powelton Village. The cheesesteak talk about Dellissandros and Steve's steaks. It's the little things like this I like to hear. Especially since I'm listening from the North Shore of Massachusetts now longing for a little taste of Phila.

Great podcast,makes me smile.I have pen and paper by my side when I listen.So many great leads,I’m having a renaissance of watching good movies because of the great info/movies discussed on this show.Sure beats the styrofoam bland choices of Netflix.Buy the physical movie.

Hearing Joe Dante and Alan Arkush talk about coming up, editing trailers for Corman was amazing. I’ve been sharing the episode with everyone.

I have listened to several of these and I love the content, but it is a struggle to get through them due to audio quality. Joe Dante’s audio is always terrible. It pops and the levels are off and he is hard to hear and understand. The guests are always much clearer. The other presenter’s audio is professional and clean. But to hear Joe, I have to turn up the volume so much that the other presenter blasts in my ear.
