  • Superb

    I think I’ve been listening since the pandemic. I only listen to the movies and/or shows I’ve seen.

  • Not a good introduction

    Just listened to my first episode of your podcast. You opened by stating (and arguing about, but landing on the wrong conclusion nonetheless) that Good Will Hunting was filmed after Talented Mr. Ripley. The director has openly stated Damon was cast as Ripley after he saw GWH…. Jeez guys.
