This is probably one of my favorite podcasts at least in my top 5 possibly even 3. Although I’m here for the movie talk, they also talk about music, have meaningful conversations (nostalgic stuff), and chat about other sub-genres. “The Shining” episode might be one of my favorites. Keep up the great work dudes!

Every Wednesday I look forward to a new episode from these guys, each episode is a fun time, and really makes my day much more enjoyable. They’re both really funny and I leave each episode knowing something new about some of my favorite movies that I didn’t know before.
