Welcome to a new feature on the podcast, where I’ll have guests come on and defend movies they love, particularly ones that aren’t well-loved.

When you hear Celeste de la Cabra, you should expect to learn something. I’ll let her explain herself: “I’m a leftist, an anti-fascist, an ethical vegan, non-binary, queer, and an atheist. Stating this up front is important because these things are important to me and will naturally inform my biases and analyses. I’m not interested in pretending to be neutral on social issues or politics. I approach every film I watch as a piece of art, rather than just content or entertainment, and I aim to encourage others to do the same.”

You can find more about her on YouTube, Patreon, Letterboxd and TikTok.

This episode, Celeste and I discuss Trog, a movie that many look down on.  I was honored to have her on as my first guest and look forward to return appearances.

You can listen to the show on Spotify.

The show is also available on Apple Podcasts, iHeartRadio, Amazon Podcasts, Podchaser and Google Podcasts
