- This podcast sucks
Seth is the most annoying podcast host I’ve ever witnessed. Save your time and skip this one.

I look forward to the new episode each week. Michelle and Seth are extremely likable hosts who have unique ways of looking at movies. I’ve discovered several great movies that were not originally on my radar because of this podcast.

Michelle and Seth live up to their theme song as they “tackle film without pretension”. Their overall healthy attitude towards movies and pleasant demeanor is a breath of fresh air. Even if they have a take on a movie that I don’t agree with, I still enjoy hearing their reaction to the film. I’m really excited for their upcoming movie and can’t wait to see what it entails.

I’m here for Seth (the other one) and yet I can’t help but appreciate the embarrassment of riches at the sound of another lovely Seth
