  • Begin at the 20 minutes mark

    I do like this show. But the first 20 minutes is just strangers’ annoying banter unrelated to the topic. Just get to the movie!!

  • I love listening to these guys talk about movies. They do a great job of explaining the film even if it is not one I've seen and they always make me laugh.

  • Love These Guys

    Michael and Nick’s passion for film cuts through in every episode. There are of course untold numbers of film related podcasts out there, but this one is special. Love the films they choose to highlight, and the criticism is always on point and from the heart. Also—Michael Viers makes for not only an incredible host but an incredible podcast guest as well, as he did on our own show Hard Out when he stopped by to talk about his all-time favorite flick HALLOWEEN.

  • Unique and thoughtful film discussions

    Michael and Nick put on an excellent show! They do a great job digging deep into each film and their discussions are thoughtful, informed and a lot of fun. The production value is definitely a step up from most independent podcasts and I really appreciate the care and attention put into each episode. Listening to episodes discussing films I’ve already seen is my favorite way to consume SLPS, but even if I haven’t seen the film being discussed, I still enjoy those episodes a lot.
