About the Hosts
Bob Book
Host
Bob grew up watching movies of all kinds, mostly with his dad. In high school, he became a fully-fledged film nerd, making and watching films regularly. He's since cooled it on his dreams to be Spielberg, and instead loves to teach about and discuss film with anyone who will listen.
Brad Gee
Brad was also introduced to movies by his dad, but has a much different movie education: classic Hollywood and Westerns are right up his alley. Brad hasn't seen many of the films discussed on the podcast, and part of the fun is in hearing his unbiased take.
