  • Never miss an episode

    I really enjoy this podcast. It’s the only movie review podcast I listen to regularly. The structure of having three film lovers with very different personal viewpoints, but common love of movies makes the discussions interesting and fun. Sonny, Alyssa, and Peter always bring thoughtful insights to the show. It’s a good time.
