  • What a great show!

    I love a lot of non-mainstream Christmas stuff, so Bob and Mark's show is right up my alley. I'll be adding it to my regular listening lineup.

  • Give it a listen, you’ll enjoy!

    These guys are hilarious and can basically talk about anything and it’s be interesting, but reviewing a movie I never would have seen or heard of is a really unique and interesting twist. Check them out!

  • Like opening a Christmas gift you didn’t know you wanted

    This podcast is Like opening a Christmas gift you didn’t know you wanted…but love! Bob and Mark do a FANTASTIC job at introducing and reviewing movies that I honestly probably would not have come across or chosen on my own, but now I want to watch them. I also like the second half of the show when they go into traditions and customs from the current episode’s country. Well done and Happy Christmas! -Benji Pearson
