    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?

  • Neither here nor there

    This is a great podcast… just fyi they don’t just cover only Lars von trier and cronenberg flicks (although I did find this podcast through watching the house that jack built)… but they cover lots of different types of movies… they seem a bit bro-ish at first, but they’re actually pretty intellectual and progressive dudes… plus you gotta love Griffey’s catchphrase
