- Must-Listen for Movie Fans!
THE best movie pod out there! Chance’s analyses are the perfect blend of intellect and entertainment. His interviews match the guests and movies right where they are, the discussions are casual yet provoking, and the guest-movie pairings are thoughtful and satisfying. Great range of genres, voices, and perspectives. The pacing is spot on and keeps you hooked for the whole kick! Can’t wait for the next one!
