- Casual podcast that’s serious about movies!
Love this podcast, John, Ryan, and Dixon have a great chemistry which allows them to talk about anything and everything film. 🍿🎬 If you’re looking for a podcast to supplement your movie watching this is the one. Plus the recommend and refute episodes are great for finding new things to watch! If I could recommend a film for y’all to review it would be “Beyond the Infinite Two Minutes”!

Canada3 years ago - A pleasant surprise!
I am set in my ways and rarely take on new podcasts for my regular rotation. But, I noticed these guys kept popping up when I searched for discussions about whatever weird movie I just watched. They have a great casual style and diverse tastes in film. One likes art house/criterion, another seems to be into anime, and the other likes B film “schlock” type movies. A great listen, especially the recommend or refute eps. Keep it going guys, I love the show!
