- So Many Titles I Need to…
…add to my never ending list of must watch. A fun listen, banter only adds to their synopsis. I love their criteria categories towards the ultimate rating.

If like me you grew up in an an era in the UK when Bridge on the River Kwai seemed to be on TV every Saturday night, this is a delightful listen. Chat about the impossibility of getting your family to join you on the couch particularly resonates! I spoiled my own Father with my constant attendance.

Love this Pod. A recent discovery. Authoritative, well researched and delivered with a good dollop of humour. Well done chaps.
P.s would love to hear your review of Stalingrad (1993) and Come and See, though not sure whether there will be much humour in those two. Also Sniper: the white raven is excellent IMHO.
