  • Entertaining pod!

    It’s always fascinating to hear about the movies that might have been and learn what could’ve gotten in the way of production. The pod is well-researched and I really enjoy the various guests that join. The episode lengths are right in my preferred sweet spot too, running around 1.5 hours

  • Now just a Superman pod?

    Good show, but getting sick of Superman.

    UPDATE: Very sick of Superman.

  • Great topic but so much dead-end convos

    I just wish Stephen kept things on topic. The other guy keeps sidetracking things and then everything goes silent and Stephen goes “yeah…” or “nice…” They clearly have done a lot of research but my God, the digressions!

    Kinda my pet peeve with a lot of movie podcasts. They all think they’re jokes are really funny but that’s not what I come here for.

  • The guests sometimes…

    “You know when something isn’t misogynist but feels like it is?”

    Imagine going through life with that kind of attitude.

    Must be exhausting.
