Reviews

4.6 out of 5 stars from 343 ratings
  • At least the name of the show is correct

    I was hoping to like this show but it’s impossible. Adam has all the movie knowledge of a first semester film student and all of his attempts at humor just come across as hack and lazy. If you want a film podcast, there are better options.
