  • Superb Podcast

    I watch Cody on YouTube and love his channel. He talks about all the types of films I like (except Jingle all the way! Hate that movie) but not really heard Chuck before however I am loving their film chat. Now a permanent listen for me, love hearing these two discussing movies. Hope this goes on for a long time to come.

  • Awesome

    I might not be the “typical” listener — I’m a 41-year-old mom of two toddlers — but I’ve always been into horror and pretty much anything movie/TV related, especially thrillers, action, and sci-fi. I was born in the mid-80s and grew up with a dad who was a huge horror fanatic(he passed away when I was a teen), so my sister and I were watching horror movies really young.

    I found this podcast through Cody’s channel, which I’ve followed for years, and it’s quickly become something I look forward ... more
