David Chen is a writer who focuses on film, TV, and other pop culture topics. Devindra Hardawar loves movies, too, and brings his tech knowledge to discussions. Jeff Cannata adds his acting experience to round out this enlightening show.
The podcast hosts start each episode by addressing news and announcements. They might discuss what is happening with different platforms or film companies. Then, they move on to share about what they're watching. Each host presents their review. In one episode, Jeff describes his experience of watching the documentary BS High. At first, he wasn't sure how the subject could sustain a 90-minute piece. He found the scandalous story fascinating and upsetting.
