  • Used to be good

    This show used to be great. It was even fine when one host left. But now the show has become 4+ hours of dithering around answering questions from some online tool named ‘Acres of Movies’. What a waste of time now. Stop answering this idiot during the show or you will lose more listeners like me who have been with you from the start. Listen to the Disconnected instead.

  • Spoiled experience

    Tedious ramblings. Occasionally informative. But the casual spoiling of films is unforgivable.
