- Fun stuff
So many films I love, and some I didn’t know about. Always informative. Love the guest hosts. Might I suggest Wristcutters a love story? It’s more like under known or discussed!

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.

United Kingdoma year ago - 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.

My gawd, Scott Weinberg, are you recording this inside a tin can?!?!
I've gotten through a few sa far and your end of the recording is TERRIBLE!! Come on man!
Do you not listen to these?? In the Manaimal episode you are barley audible but Ken Reid is clear as a bell!
Apple Podcasts3manayunk wallUnited Statesa year ago - 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.
