Just discovered this podcast, and I’m hooked. So many interesting stories from the Golden Age of Hollywood 🤩. And almost as important, fabulous voices and banter! 🥰

I love this podcast for both the fascinating facts, but also the enthusiasm.

Can’t wait every week!! My favorite hands down. You guys are the best and I tell everyone about your podcast!

Steve and Nan love their subject matter and the passion comes through every episode. I first discovered this podcast last summer during a month on Crete. From the glamour of Hollywood to the dark side of has beens and wannabes, the research is thorough and the presentation is so sincere you can’t help embracing this team.

This is right in my wheelhouse. Hollywood’s golden era is my subject, so this should be a favorite podcast for me… but there’s just something off about the presentation. The presenters are just a little bit smug, rushed and artificially giddy as they rattle through the talking points. I don’t know exactly what it is… shades of NPR maybe, but I’m not convinced that the enthusiasm is authentic, it feels corporate and mechanical under the surface, with the annoying music bed and rushed presentation.

Great episode on classics/favorites of the 1960s. Listening to Steve and Nan discuss classics is always so enjoyable as well as informative. Thank you for a quality podcast! Glenn in Athens GA

The research, storytelling, chemistry and firsthand knowledge is top shelf! Well done!

Can you guys do a deep dive into the films of Tyrone Power?

I’m a huge classic movie fan and am so happy I found this podcast. Can’t wait to listen to more episodes. It’s got great backstory info, which I love.

Would be nice if they pronounced peoples’ names correctly and most of it wasn’t from Wikipedia or the rumor mill.

This podcast is great!!! I’m so glad I found it I’m a big fan of the tcm network especially between the movies when they chat about behind the scenes so this is right up my alley. Great job hosting as well you really keep it interesting 👍

I always look forward each week to the newest episode of this podcast. Excellently researched and well presented. Steve & Nan have great chemistry. You feel like you are sitting around with old friends (who know awful lot!) and having a great time with them. I also enjoy their sidekick Lindsey and his part of the show each week. So glad I found Beneath The Hollywood Sign!

Easy, unpretentious and well researched. No gimmicks like some other hosts of this genre. Just good conversation. Bravo!

I recently discovered this podcast and instantly fell in love with Steve and Nan. They’ve got a great rapport. I love how the parse out the story together. And the stories are fantastic. If you love old Hollywood or if you’re just curious, definitely check out this podcast.

As a self-proclaimed expert of Old Hollywood, particularly the pre-code era, it’s easy to give 5 stars after listening to episode 43’s spot on list of 1930s best pictures. Whether a fellow armchair expert or not sure where to start your classic picture journey, this informed podcast with fellow enthusiasts is exceptional. Thank you for keeping this wonderful content coming!

Steve and Nan do a bang up job on this podcast. I never fail to learn something new about Hollywood history and I thought I knew a lot. I look forward to Mondays with a new episode every week!

Just wish there were more new episodes every week 😂

I love Old Hollywood and have read so many books and listen to so many podcasts and yet I learn something wonderful and new with each episode ! They connect dots I never knew about. The hosts have an engaging and vibrant style! They really show their passion for the subject - Bravo !!

Steve and Nan are wonderful hosts because they truly love the subjects they are talking about, whether that is a person, place, or Hollywood institution. You’re not going to get serious music stings but you are going to get a well researched account of that subject, both the good and bad aspects. I would pair this in the category of the intros and outros on TCM, still light but has to go into the dark on occasion to give their audience the full picture.

So, I wasn’t really into classic Hollywood films, but I always wanted to be. I was just too intimidated by how many films there were and no clue where to start. This podcast is a nice way of having a curated selection of films based off of each week’s theme and as long as I can find them, the suggestions are a huge help into my movie watching journey. Plus I get the hot gossip that went on in the background while these films were being filmed. Plus the dynamic between Steve and Nan is a breath of fresh air and I love their podcasting style. Take it from this film novice, even if you know nothing about Classic Hollywood, or everything about them, you will be better for having Steve and Nan to take you along the journey. Could not recommend more!

What a great podcast! It’s smart, engaging, and whether you’re a long-time Hollywood fan or new to the golden age, there is always something fascinating to enjoy.

I love this podcast!! The two hosts, Steve and Nan, have so many great stories about the Hollywood actors and movies of yesteryear! If you love older movies and long for the glamour, glitz, mystery and drama of days gone by, DON’T MISS THIS PODCAST!!!

Great podcast that’s full of facts. It’s fun to listen anytime 💜

Finally interesting material with hosts that are entertaining! Do some noir please!

the useless cliche; " I am so tired of hearing women are difficult but a man is strong”. Wrong! if a man is being a pain in the butt, he is known as being a jerk, an idiot or other similar monikers, he is not known as “strong:” Enjoy your podcast but please stop with the silly cliches.

Been looking for hosts I find engaging … thank you!

Nan and Steve are so awesome and present so well. They complete each others sentences and have this style that makes them want to tune in each week! Thank you for that and your excellent knowledge of Hollywood 😀

This podcast is fast becoming my favorite! Just the right combination of facts and entertainment delivered by two engaging hosts, Steve Cubine and Nan McNamara consistently hit it out of the park. The recent episodes on the Hollywood sign and Maureen O’Hara were particularly enjoyable. I will be tuning back in each week!

Love learning about Hollywood history and tales of intrigue! Steve and Nan are amazing hosts. My list of old movies to check out is growing too - wonderful show!

Simply the best. Knowledgeable, warm, bright insights into the history of great film stars. Uniquely positioned to share from a rich resource of personal experience, study, lived experience and a deep sense of space. Broadcasting from the community of over 100 years of Hollywood (land). A pod to remember, add to your listening rotation.

Loving this new podcast. The information about Hollywood is riveting and the banter between hosts is fun. I am a freak and a shallow diver and I highly recommend this podcast!

Found this through a friend’s recommendation and two episodes in it has not disappointed. The wealth of historical and cultural nuggets so pleasantly dispensed by Steve and Nan in the Knickerbocker Hotel episode alone will have anyone hooked. Hit the Follow button and enjoy!

I will listen to this show and I’m glad I’m getting in on the podcast’s ground floor

Great podcast! Enjoyable listen!

I found this podcast through another podcast, The Shallow End with Schnebly and Toth. I love this podcast. The hosts are incredible, high knowledgeable and entertaining. Keep up the good work!

I love discovering old films and this podcast is a must for anyone who else who wants to hear about the gossip back in the day along with movie recommendations!

This is a truly magnificent new podcast about old Hollywood. The hosts, Steve Cubine and Nan McNamara, are dynamite together. Both are deeply knowledgable and researched and the chemistry between them is electric. You can feel their friendship, their natural charm, and their passion for Hollywood come through the airwaves. It’s like listening to two great pals talk about what they really love. I am hooked! These stories are rare gems and to hear them so vividly brought to life is a real treat. Listen now, folks!

Hoping for more episodes! I listened to all of the firsts available in one day. This has far and away been one of the better classic film findings for a fan of both Classic Hollywood and podcasts about the subject especially with what seems to be the dwindling quality in 2023. Awesome work. Especially like the trivia and the continuity towards prior episodes.

I came across this with an ad and it’s an amazing episode. It’s amazing podcast. I hope they do more they release like five at one so I hope you guys do actually do more every week. I enjoy history of all kinds of things, so I love old history, especially old Hollywood history as well so keep up the good work.

I swore these two had been doing this pod for years, because they sound so seasoned! I couldn't believe it when I found out this is a brand new show! They really do dive into some of the more little-known stories on this show. It will change the weay I look at things next time I drive through Hollywood! I came here from "Box Of Oddities" and "The Shallow End." Between these three pods, I feel like my commute is almost downright fun! Way to go, Steve and Nan!

Loved this he first ep on Oscar misses and can’t wait to dive into the rest! Great podcast!

Cubine and McNamara deliver a thoroughly entertaining podcast about old Hollywood. It’s well researched and the hosts are very knowledgeable and have great chemistry together. This is such a fun way to learn about myths and mysteries of Hollywood by two people that have really done their homework and obviously love the subject they cover.

Wonderful hosting. Excellent chemistry between Nan and Steve. Interesting and fun stories. Also recommed The Box of Oddities and The Shallow End podcasts!!!

I’m so excited about Steve Cubine’s new podcast! He’s truly an expert about old Hollywood. I could listen to old stories about Hollywood legends for hours. Hurray for Beneath the Hollywood Sign! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I’ve been reading Steve Cubine’s blog “From Beneath the Hollywood Sign” for years. His research and collection of life is stranger than fiction. Stories are equal parts, informative, and entertaining. He knows how to tell a good story. I am beyond excited about this podcast!!
