In this episode of The Austin B Media Podcast, I have a detailed conversation with guest Jack Martin, Film Feeder's editor-in-chief. We discuss Jack's recently launched Film Feeder podcast and the Patreon associated with it, offering listeners early access to episodes and more. We also extensively reviewed The Holdovers and touched upon other Alexander Payne films, Christmas movies, and the importance of family in these films.
