Ian
Co-Host of The Best Pictures Podcast
As a fan of the arts in general, Ian has always enjoyed debating and analyzing the merits of film, and after years of saying he wished he'd seen more Oscar winners, he jumped at the chance to start The Best Pictures Podcast with his best friend Maggie. He's the resident "music expert" and can always be counted on to drop a little bit of knowledge about score.
Ian has hosted 118 Episodes.
