  • Superb!! 🖤

    I love this and don’t understand why it isn’t massively popular. It’s been my favourite podcast find of the past year and I’m enjoying catching up. Took a while to get used to their dynamic, but having listened to so many episodes I can hear that they’re a pair of thoughtful men who have a funny and quirky friendship. The chat about their lives has become almost as important to my listening enjoyment as their takes on film. Not too impenetrably cunty but still great for those that may want to br... more

    I love this. It’s been my favourite podcast find of the past year and I’m enjoying catching up. Took a while to get used to their dynamic, but once I learned to see the humour of Casey correcting/belittling Patrick (particularly when Peanut is often actually right) I started to enjoy both their interactions and their takes on film. Not too impenetrably cunty but still great for those that may want to broaden their film knowledge.

    Sad to see they’re down to one a month now but if they’re still ... more

  • Waste of time

    They don't appear to know anything about cinema from the episode I listened to. Global/arthouse cinema requires some effort to understand the film in context. Should really have at least googled Daisies first before discussing it.
