Reviews

5.0 out of 5 stars from 14 ratings
  • Don't worry about abrasive tone, the grumpiness referred to in the podcast's title is of the gentle (and very funny, very amusing) variety.

    Highly recommended for the insight, the knowledgeable banter and the enthusiasm behind the hosts' obvious affection for 80s and 90s cinema.
