- Boring
Just recaps the movie, I dont find anything that interesting being added by the host or guests. Better off just putting the movie on in the background and listen to that

A fun and engaging podcast, the host is super endearing and always interacts well with her guests, something I particularly enjoy is that she doesn’t always agree with them about how good (or bad) a movie is. Father’s Day episodes always a treat, love the rapport between father and daughter.

Thank you for having Case Aiken on the pod and entertaining a very nuanced and thorough discussion on Robocop (1987)!

Red should do a trope talk on the tagalong human, also a very good podcast.
Apple Podcasts5wowinthewoldUnited Statesa year ago - Hundreds of Beavers Convert
Fantastic show and so much fun to listen to! I love hearing their takes on both shows I’ve seen and ones I’ve never heard of! Sophia kept talking about Hundreds of Beavers on the OSP streams and podcast, so I decided to watch it one day and loved it! It’s such a good movie and I was so excited to see that it was the 100th episode!
