  • Love this show! The hosts bring such an interesting perspective to each film they talk about. Even something like Upstream Color, a movie I know I would never like. In the past few years, Patrick has been bringing a toxically negative vibe to most of his appearances. I have depression and can't listen to many of these episodes unless I want to spend the rest of the day in bed. more
