I have listened to every episode so far and have thoroughly enjoyed them, I now have some tips for new films to look out for and watch. I am a bit biased as Jim is my brother but the combined knowledge of film of Jim and Sean is simply amazing, can’t wait for the next one Gail
Awesome discussions, I will forgive you for not liking Barbie. I get the whole death by pink though.
