  • Love these guys

    I don’t always agree with their ratings and they don’t always agree with each other but I always appreciate their thoughts. And they’re typically the first pod in my feed with reviews of new releases.

  • The Fun Movie Podcast

    I'm sorry Griffey but you're straight up jealous of Curry Barker. I totally understand but hating on the content doesn't make your stories sound any more interesting.

  • Great if they can restrain themselves

    Just don’t talk politics. You guys sound ridiculous. No one wants to listen to a movie podcast and have someone integrate their useless political opinions into it.

  • Don’t bother, political once again.

    Why can’t people just review movies without making everything political?
