About
The show that is creating challenges for distributors locally TotalCultZone presents....Another movie review podcast? Yeah, I guess so. I do mix it up a bit however by covering new, old, cult, forgotten, unknown, good, bad and ugly movies... Usually all in the same episode. While I will touch upon the popular films of the day, I'll also try my hardest to introduce you to something you didn't know about.It might be a good thing you didn't know about it, but that's a different story entirely. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
