I loved the first season on the show and somehow totally missed the launch of the second season. I’m floored. In life, I’m far less invested in the story of James Cameron, but in this show? I’m ALL IN. It’s spectacular. I’m an audio fiction producer and researcher - it’s so refreshing to hear audio fiction so powerfully rendered in in the non-fiction genre and the supplemental interview episodes are so great. Primary sources? Heck yes. The scoring, the writing, the performances, the sound design… all of it magnificent and inspiring.

I absolutely love this show. I am fairly new to podcasting, and have appeared on some, but I love the radio drama skit aspect to it. The impersonations like Schwarzenegger and Stallone are stellar. I have a request. John Carpenter. He really never had a blockbuster after Halloween but he has had a very interesting career. And has a huge following.

My family and I have listened (and re listened) to Blockbuster on our summer road trips for the past 3 years! I won’t knock off a star, but the language in the second season is a bit explicit for kids. Can’t wait for another season - Peter Jackson and The Lord of the Rings, please!!!

I’m not really old enough to have experienced radio shows before color TV but from what I understand, they were produced similarly to this impressive effort. Well done!

Both seasons were perfectly written and produced to deliver entertainment and information. Audio escapism at it’s best. I desperately need a season 3!

Really well made and enjoyable podcast. I’m not even a Star Wars fan but cried during one episode of the first season! A departure from my usual listens but hugely interesting and well researched.

I enjoyed this immensely. A great escape from my usual podcast. Loved the sound and acting!

Please make more. My wife and I are eagerly awaiting whatever you do next!

Please make more seasons

As an avid podcast listener, its hard to surprise me. BLOCKBUSTER blew me away. The production value is the best I have ever heard in audio narrative! I see vivid and beautiful movies in my head when I listen to this show. For creators of all kinds, can’t recommend the show enough! Listen to this show if you know what’s good for ya! — @robert_negoesco

Beautiful work, a true cinematic sonic journey. So ambitious - and it hits the mark. Thanks to the creators for putting such passion into this project, so much takent and vision. Crossing my fingers for a Season 3.

Great stories about great filmmakers! Interesting, entertaining, and has heart! I want more seasons! How about a season focused on Tim Burton?

I always enjoy learning about the history/backstory of amazing people and topics in entertainment. But the high quality sound, voice acting and script for this podcast is more than informative. It is high quality entertainment by itself.

Love this superhero origin story version of Jim Cameron - a hero to all aspiring film directors. I’m halfway through and I can’t wait to get to the end.

The most inspiring podcast for filmmakers in existence

One of the best podcast, if not the best, on Hollywood. A must listen!!!

You don’t even need to be a fan of James Cameron’s movies to appreciate how masterfully produced this podcast is. Half documentary, half radio drama .. all entertaining gold! It was so good I couldn’t believe how quick the episodes blew by and left me thirsty for more..

A tale as old as time, but beautifully rendered from POVs and sound you’ve always wanted to hear!

Such a wonderful podcast! So interesting, well researched and the sound is WOW! I recommend this to everyone I know looking for a new podcast to listen to. I loved season 1, loved season 2 and looking forward to season 3.

I was really impressed with season 1 and season 2 took it up a notch. Not you’re ordinary podcast. I can’t wait for season 3.

The music and sounds are done so well, and I can’t get enough of Ross Marquand!

I have to be honest, after season 1 (some of my favorite filmmakers) I didn’t want to listen to another story. I was so married to just how freaking well done the first story is! But man, why I doubted the blockbuster team I’ll never know! Season 2 was phenomenal, incredibly acted, perfectly written, and the music UGH the music was beautiful 😭. What a wonderful listen.

Great background and stories!

This show is excellent. The cast, sound design, music, and flow of the story is great. I have recommended this show to all of my friends and all of them have loved it! Can’t wait to hear future episodes!

I had this one sitting in my library for months. Why did I wait so long? This ended up being one of my favorite podcasts during lockdown. Well written and acted. Strongly recommend!!

I started at season one with Star Wars, was not a childhood fan, was introduced to it when I met my husband and it has been a huge part of our lives. What a great podcast! Brought tears to my eyes when George Lucas heard the music with the film fit the first time! Season 2 with Titanic was just as gripping and amazing! Huge Titanuc fan. I’m going to watch it again now that I’ve heard all the background from this podcast! Thank you for making this! I absolutely am addicted!

This was beautiful and inspiring. I wish there had been more time with Bill Paxton and the making of Aliens, but this was moving.

This is one of the most entertaining podcasts i have ever listened to. I listened to this while at work and would oftentimes find myself so invested in the story, that I realized I hadn’t done anything in the last 20 minutes.

Not what I expected. I was searching for something new (easily bored). Stumbled on this little gem. I started with season 2 and was literally inspired. The mix of dramatic re-enactments, factual interviews, sound effects and movie scores kept my AirPods glued to my ears. To the creator and crew... Thank you!

Great acting, grand, sweeping music, overall amazing!

The singing? I don’t get it.

A lively and entertaining look at how some of our iconic directors got into the film business and created their legendary movies and careers. Very well done!

Very well crafted story telling and detail.

I love the storytelling

Telling the behind-the-scenes stories of these titans of Hollywood is no small order, but Matt Schrader and his team have managed to do it with style, finesse, suspense and real drama. The writing, performances, production values and soundtrack are all Oscar-caliber. I can’t remember ever having had this much fun listening to a film or TV podcast. Season 2 is gonna be tough to top, but I’m already looking forward to season 3.

This is what great audio storytelling should. I had to slow down my driving a few times so I could listen longer. Looking forward to the next season.

Was by far the best season of a podcast I have ever listened too. Thank you for making this.

For any film lover this is a must listen podcast! Incredibly engaging and so well done from a production stand point. I binged the entire series in a matter of weeks. I can’t wait for season 3!

If you suffer from Misophonia (intense dislike of certain sounds) do not listen to this podcast. The folly artist seems to only be able to make "slurping sounds, water filling a glass sounds, sloshing water sounds, gulping water sounds, clinking glass sounds). I really think they did a terrible job on this. Also, the story seems to be selective in it's "facts" about the making of these movies. It's a "don't let the facts get in the way of telling a great story" approach.

If you love movies and the fascinating stories of how they get made, you have to listen to this podcast. Blockbuster is a phenomenal podcast at every level. First of all, the writing is excellent—finding the heartbeat of the compelling true stories behind our favorite movies. Then the music, acting, and sound design come together to create an immersive audio experience that draws you into the events. The production quality is off the charts, and the behind the scenes interviews are a fun addition.

Blockbuster is by far the best podcast I hav ever listened to. The attention to detail is remarkable. I completely felt i was in the moment. Very special. Although is all audio it feels you are watching a movie. The insight of of every character is eye opening. I don’t know how you guys did it but this is definitely a block buster too. The interviews are almost as good as the series. Lol. Very cool guys!

I really enjoyed the story, and the production was great.

This podcast is very well done. The voice actors are on point. The sound and music is great. I can visualize all of the events as if I am watching a movie. As an artist I find this story very inspiring. Thank you to the crew of Blockbuster. I look forward to seeing future seasons! 5 stars.

I work in the entertainment industry as an editor and this podcast floored me. It's so incredibly well done in every aspect that I was hooked. This is now the bar for story driven podcasts, I can't wait for the next season!

As a filmmaker myself, hearing the starts and rising of these talented filmmakers is very inspiring. Listening to the season 2 finale when Cameron wins the Best Director award and with Ross playing it so well, it made me choke up. Great job everyone and I’m excited to see who season 3 will be about.

An incredibly entertaining and emotional series. The quality of the production from the acting to the music to the sound design is truly amazing!

One of my favorite podcasts. Extremely well done and polished. Very curious who they might include next.

I listened to the first season a handful of times a few years ago and was blown away. When I saw that season 2 was about James Cameron I couldn’t wait to see if they could out do the last season and they did! I needed a podcast now more than any other time to get immersed into and the combination of the voice acting, sound design and storytelling make me feel like I’m watching a movie with my ears. This podcast is best listened to with headphones on. if there is anyone to voice my feedback, please do Season 3 and please do it on Cristopher Nolan, who I believe continues the through line perfectly from George Lucas as he was heavily inspired by Star Wars and is possibly the last director making original blockbusters right now.

I want season three to be about Clint Eastwood. He’s a good director.

Loved the first season. Loved the second season. Don’t stop!
