The Peach Review

By Jon J.

This is a podcast for The Peach Review® Magazine in Atlanta. In the past, we've shared various types of reviews including art exhibits, ballets, and musicals. This time around, we're more focused on Film & TV reviews. We'll share special clips, featurettes, and other great content of upcoming films. Outside of an exclusive interview, our episodes usually range from four to six minutes (we're not trying to take up your whole day). It shouldn't take an hour to tell you about a film or TV show :)

Kyle is a funny, talented, humble guy with good advice and honestly, he thought he could beat TBZ as Perfect Cell (which we know is impossible, he's perfect). Enjoy the interview!
