  • Tremendous! Long live the Red Shirts!

    Dave, Nathan & Rob are excellent to listen to as we travel through some absolute classic movies!

    Whilst it’s shocking to hear how some are less watched by certain members of the team, it’s fantastic to have a good listen to all the enjoyment for the golden era of movies I grew up with!

    Keep up the great work gents! 🥳👍🫡
