Entertaining

...but I guarantee you&#39;ve got nothing on Andrew. This guy has enormous affection for film in general, &amp; a soft spot for all things weird &amp; under the radar. He&#39;s a champion of the unsung, &amp; an unapologetic feminist, &amp; it&#39;s a always a pleasure to hear his unique perspectives. Cannot recommend highly enough!
