United Kingdom12 years ago - Most Interesting Approach To Discussing Films
I've been a fan of Earth-2.net since late 2007 early 2008. This is the newest show that Michael David Sims has created, along with his wife Shana. The concept of the show is that they each have a list of changes that they either would or wouldn't make to the film that they are discussing that week. They have great chemistry, and even though the podcast has only had two releases so far, I'm excited to see what they cover each and every week. One of my new favorite podcasts!!!
Keep up the excelle... more

Everyone has thought it with their mates, but Michael and Shana have actually made a podcast out of it.
Well done on the idea, and well done on the podcast. A very fun and enjoyable listen. Also helps if you see the movie in question so you c... more
