They Called This a Movie

Anthony Del Vecchio

Booking Overview

This weekly film-comedy discussion show focuses on bad, cult, and nostalgic movies, with occasional external guests such as comedians and fellow podcasters who join the host for a movie deep dive. Agencies could credibly pitch comedians, film critics, pop-culture commentators, and movie-focused creators with a distinctive connection to a featured title; booking should be relatively accessible, though relevance to the specific film is important.
