  • Could be better

    I really enjoy this show but it’s off putting how often Scott talks over the guest. He asks their opinion then speaks over them constantly. Love hearing everyones views on this show but come on man, wait until your guest stops speaking before jumping in with your own.

  • U need instruction, bad

    Garbled mess. The informational fun is not clear. More patience needed. You murdered the review for the WITHOUT A CLUE 1988 movie. It’s on utube and you provide nearly zero evidence of its many wonderful qualities. How old are you? You don’t value your own audience.

  • Lots of gens- one gripe

    I love this podcast and the host is affable, knowledgeable and clearly passionate about the films. The guest host format is great and they cover lots of different genres and eras.

    My only nitpick is the main host interrupts the guests all the time. Please edit it out or give them a chance to finish their sentences.
