- Taking Me Back
Absolutely love that they chose 1999 to build their podcast around. Such a great year in cinema. The hosts do a great job giving context to all of the things happening during the time of the release of each film while also providing info on how it was received by the public. Love their fun hot takes and chemistry with their guests. Will definitely be coming back for more. -Danielle, No More Late Fees Podcast
