  • Five bags of popcorn and a big thing of soda

    Obviously came here for the On Cinema insights, but I really love the episodes that focus on other subjects, ESPECIALLY the series on the biblical book of Job. Sooo much funnier and more interesting than I was expecting it to be. Keep up the good work guys!

  • MAGA bashing and boring

    The on cinema content is fun to listen to if you can get past the constant maga bashing and boring NPR like speaking tone. One of them had the nerve to call the Trump supporting moms at the Klamath County Library incapable of compassion because they support Trump. They didn't have to go there. Way to alienate a portion of the fan base for no good reason losers.

But it’s possible that you could have three heads like the three headed dog in the Harry Potter movie (2002 114 minutes). So pick one more head or lose a head, that’s my advice to these fellows.

    Thanks to this pod for making my love of the On Cinema world feel legitimate. It’s become part of my routine to listen to this pod... more
