  • Have your cake and eat it too

    Love movies and making lists? This is an entertaining, fun, and super smart (and often funny) podcast that combines a love of film with the timeless game of ranking them. The twist is each ranking categorizes in countless ways, opening up the discussion to all types of genres, with entertaining guests and a host that knows his stuff. This actually helps discover new gems that you didn’t even know existed. It’s like winning a raffle!
