  • Fun Pod

    Thank you ladies for making this a actual movie lovers podcast. I have stopped listening to a few lately that decided to talk about the state of the world instead of movies and everything about them.

  • Great hosts make a great show

    This movie discussion podcast is a fresh take on the genre. The hosts complement one another well and feel like friends having a chat. This show is insightful and fun. There is more of a focus on cultural relevance and incorporating how we feel about watching a movie and what was happening culturally when the film was released.

    I enjoyed listening so much I’m going back and listening to them again.

    Look forward to catching up with the ladies every week. I actually like the ad breaks because sometimes they interrupt in the funniest times. Also, you should profit from your work! Thanks for the great chats.
