The podcast for the website B&S About Movies. I own too many movies and too few people want to talk to me in real life about them, so what if you listen to me -- in bite-sized chunks -- tell you why I love or hate a movie?

  • Great movie podcast but…

    I love the cut and dry delivery of background information and reviews. I do wish that he would cut down the length of clips he cuts away too, be it trailers or scenes. Some are just people screaming for long stretches and I have no idea what’s going on. Feels like he’s padding the time a bit. We really don’t need to listen to whole trailers especially if a lot of it background music.
