  • How dare you

    The plane from Tailspin was the “Seaduck” not the “Seabird.” Once again, if I was in a room with Hitler, Stalin, and Clint; with only two bullets in my gun… I’d shoot Clint twice.

  • Entertaining, educational, and binge-worthy

    I’ve been devouring all the old episodes of this show for a couple weeks now. I love it! The behind the scenes look at movies is super fascinating, and I love all the random trivia knowledge it’s given me. This show is so funny that I’m nervous to listen at work in case my giggling and cackling are disruptive. This is my new favorite podcast and I’ve been recommending it to everyone I know. Thanks to Clint, Rae, and Ian for all that you do and bringing me so many hours of joy!
