Essential listening for movie news. Great chemistry and a lot of fun.
Updated review! Over 200 episodes in and these guys still got it! Love the chemistry between Jackson and Gaius and their approach to talking movie news and speaking on individual movies as well! Must listen for movie fans!
Gaius is incredibly inquisitive and bridges the gap between old movies and how the are still relevant today and points at the universal and timeless themes but then points out the dated portrayals in the time. It’s intriguing to see the evolution of each famous and pop culture movie.
I love this idea for a podcast! Hearing all of the background info is great! Gaius has a perfect voice for a podcast and the dynamic with the other hosts is great!! Going to go binge more episodes now! :)
Love this show a must listen for anyone that loves movies

A lively, opinionated film podcast centered on current movie news, box office trends, and industry strategy, delivered with a casual, conversational vibe. Hosts balance industry-insight breakdowns with playful banter, often featuring guests who bring deep-dives, casting chatter, or horror/franchise expertise.
