  • Great podcast

    I just happened upon this podcast and am thoroughly enjoying it. My only criticism is the pronunciation of certain words, etc. If you are going to reference classic novels (Tess d’Ubervilles in the Once Upon a Time in Hollywood)), please figure out how to prononce it properly. A very minor point for sure, but a little jarring. Keep up the good work!

  • Great movie podcast. Love the matchups

    Just found this podcast and have been binging. I like the matchups and the interesting takes and their individual insights. I also like that they aren’t reviewers. Hopefully more are coming.

  • A fun movie podcast.. I didn’t think it was possible

    I work in the film industry so I surround myself with all things film at all times and it can get a bit stale after a while. I have to say it’s hard to find fun podcasts about movies. Mostly you find pods that ramble on about super technical reasons why the movie is fantastic and award winning. I just don’t care anymore. I want to hear who would win in a fight, the shark from Jaws or the T-Rex in Jurassic Park!!!!! I love this pod for cutting through the noise and making movie watching fun again... more
