As you know, the internet is FLOODED with podcasts of every kind, and those shows cover every subject you can imagine ( and some you can't ).
THE RIALTO REPORT is different, and I mean that in a GOOD WAY.
When I listen to most movie related podcasts, the hosts sound like BEAVIS & BUTT-HEAD... That's NOT a good thing. It makes me want to bash their faces in with a baseball bat... That's also NOT a good thing... ha-ha.
On the flip-side, you have a show like this, which deals with adult films, and yet it's not at all obnoxious and immature.
The hosts sound very intelligent, and I have never heard any of them scream, insult, or rant.
The hosts of the RIALTO REPORT are, Ashley West, Steven Morowitz, April Hall, Laura Marks, Jill Nelson, and Michael Bowen.
The last person should be familiar to anyone that has listened to the audio commentaries found on ALTERNATIVE CINEMA DVDs.
My favorite episodes so far, are listed below.....
INTERVIEW with JEANNE SILVER
INTERVIEW with R BOLLA
INTERVIEW with JENNIFER WELLES
I agree - this is one of the really essential shows on film, of any kind, out there at the moment. And it's really about much more than the adult film industry - as it covers personal stories, New York in the 1970s, and independent film-making.
ReplyDeleteThe key to the success is that the hosts are genuinely knowledgeable - but seem to want to remain in the background and let their guests tell the stories.
Thanks RAI for highlighting it!
