But I Digress - A Film And Lit Podcast
Latest Episodes
Blind Date (1987)
This film is comedy gold. Because it's old, from 1987, I feel many young folks will miss it. That's why I review older films like this on my podcast. I hope you enjoy listening to my podcast on the comedy greatness of Blind Date. 9/10
Godzilla (2014)
I had a lot of fun here talking about this film. As I say in the show, it was an incredible reminder for me that I needed to see it. After all, 2014 was 3 years ago and I somehow missed this action/thriller? Shall we call it a horror? Eh,
Devil
One of Director M. Night Shyamalan’s stories was adapted into a screenplay and made into a movie. This is a different way to market something of his because he usually writes, produces, and even acts a small role in everything he makes. This time,

Lady Bird (2017)
Listen to me explain on my podcast why Lady Bird the film is far from a 10/10 and closer to an 8/10 with me. You may know that Lady Bird is being touted as the “best reviewed movie of the year.” You may also know it’s a coming of age tale that takes p...
Funny Games (2008)
Have a listen to me talking about this film. If you're interested in being on a panel discussion on the Damien Riley Podcast about this film, or any film, let me know! I am starting to scout for guests. Enjoy. -
Wind River (2017)
New at the Damien Riley Podcast: My "Wind River" review (4 mins no spoilers). This is a fun cop/investigative drama set in the freezing snow on a native American reservation. My score: 8/10 -Damien As expected,
