    I just started listening to this charming trio a couple of months ago and I’m totally hooked. I love their chemistry, their wit, their insights, and Reneé’s laugh. Her laugh always makes me smile! These three have helped me get through grueling 10 hour shifts at my job. Keep up the good work, guys!

  • Good podcast

    Good podcast, only thing that bothers me is they go through the WHOLE movie, word by word. And one the guys never stops saying “okay” “okaaaay” just a tad annoying

  • Like hanging out with your funnest mates!

    Normally I’m a bit grumpy about podcasts where the hosts are friends who just banter. This ain’t that, but the three hosts have such magnificent and heartwarming chemistry, I find myself listening to episodes on films I’m not even interested in! It’s become part of my morning routine to help me get up and through my boring tasks (I’m AuDHD so this is like a gift from the afterlife!). I also defy anyone not to laugh along whenever Renee cracks up; this young lady’s laugh is INFECTIOUS. Thank you!... more

  • Came for the conversation, stayed for the laugh!

    Renee has the best laugh I’ve ever heard! I’m not a huge horror fan but have seen maybe half of these and it’s still super fun to listen to even if you haven’t seen them all. The banter and laughter has me snarking and laughing out loud all the time. These are my people Great show!!!
