And man are you guys hitting them all! And then flash forward to the six years I was active duty I watched ALOT of movies. After listening to the Princess Bride episode I put it on at the small barbershop I work at, and the two guys who I work with(who were 90s kids) had never seen it! One of these days I’m hoping to hear you ... more

  • I am throughly impressed.

    As a self proclaimed amateur movie buff it’s a real pleasure listening to these two and makes me realize I have much to learn. I have only watched a handful of the movies that these two have talked about therefore I have only listened to the episodes that coincide with those movies but I have learned a lot in each episode. These two are very informative and entertaining, please keep the episodes coming.
