  • Perfect, no notes! Well, maybe 2…

    First off, I love the podcast, you guys are great. But man I wish you would please say the name of the movie more than once. If you could end your review with the name, it would make me really happy. I listen in the car and write down the titles when I’m stopped. After 4-5 minutes, I need a reminder about which obscure 1930s film we are talking about. I’m old and dumb and I need that reminder! Also, if you could go a little more general on the synopsis, that would be cool. I love your recommenda... more

  • Overall Terrific podcast

    5 stars for Elric and Brian. I could listen to their lists and recommendations all day long. I’m less interested in the the New Beverley connection, feel it adds a level of bias towards all things Tarantino - you’ll never hear a negative word against this guys movies, particularly with Phil there to ‘keep watch’! Overall “Terrific” as Elric would say.
