- Great discussion of a fun genre
So glad to find a podcast that focuses on one of my favorite types of movies to watch. I love all the talk about archetypes, the comparisons to other films in the genre, and the deep-dive analysis. I struggled a bit with the accents at first, but now that I’m used to them, I’m really enjoying binging the back catalog.

…for the love of God, please do Exotica already!
Apple Podcasts5Definitely Not Atom EgoyanUnited States10 months ago - Really enjoy the podcasts
I really have been enjoying all the podcasts you guys put up. I really like the thorough analysis as well as the banter. Really like your choices of movies to review as well.
Apple Podcasts5manlymanUnited States2 years ago - Better than most movie pods
I kind of wish they expanded their genres, because I would take their podcast over probably 8 out of 10 I’ve listened to. No corny humor (for that alone it deserves 5 stars), good information, they don’t really talk over one another, and overall just a mature show. I’m only giving it 4 stars because I’m only a fan of a few movies in this genre, so it’s not the best fit for me. But compared to the other trash I’ve explored in the world of movie review podcasts, this one is absolutely a great fit ... more
Apple Podcasts4Bo ChillaUnited States3 years ago - Love Paul but Wish There Was Another Female Voice on the Show…
For the most part I love the podcast and especially the genre, but Amelie frustrates me as the only female voice on the podcast. All of them (with the exception of Paul) routinely look at these movies with the politics correctness lens of today rather than try to see the movie as it fit into the era in which it was made. I was actually yelling back at the podcast during “The Big Easy” episode when Amelie insisted that Ellen Barkin’s character was forced into the sex that took place in the scene ... more
