From Serpico to Snake Plissken: Matthew Pejkovic’s Cinematic Journey

from Cinema Yūgen · host hill33kjw

Turn down the lights and lean in: this episode follows Matthew Pejkovic from VHS rentals and a life-changing late-night screening of Serpico to the founding of Matt’s Movie Reviews, where two decades of obsession with film became a public calling. Through vivid anecdotes — interviewing icons like Kurt Russell and Robin Williams, defending indie cinema, and railing against algorithm-driven studios — Matthew reveals how passion, risk, and curiosity keep movies alive. Join a storyteller who treats films as modern mythology: hear the spark that ignited a career, the backstage junket moments, the love of weird cult classics, and a hopeful belief that the next cinematic revolution will come from unexpected places. This is a conversation for people who don’t just watch movies — they live them. CHECK IT OUT: https://mattsmoviereviews.net/#gsc.tab=0 https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCq_LLiCjmHyAuk0SnKfjWlw
