- Ain’t got time for this!!
Ok, everyone hates me… I just discovered your show, I’m a huge movie buff and stumbled upon this podcast. It has become the only thing I can listen to… talk about… think about… my friends are all leaving me because they can’t stand to hear for one more minute about how Westley Snipes was a total tool in b”Blade”, or how trees were specifically planted and then edited out in “Twister”, or Dame Judi Dench’s hand in “Cats” (and the crazy amount of money/ time it took to make that terrible movie).

Sorry for the hate, but I find the girl presenter doesn’t bring anything funny to the podcast. The Barbie episode I felt she had to just shoehorn unnecessary comments in.

Podcast Addict55 months agoXavierCross- Keep killin’ it, just one small note
Love the podcast, appreciate the effort and attention to detail. Dynamic is great and the variety of movies is greatly appreciated. One small note just on your audio levels, the dynamic range is pretty wide and I find myself having to turn it up and down a lot especially when Ian whispers (sorry to single you out). Might help to add a hard limiter with some input boost to raise the floor while still avoiding peaking. Other than that great work, keep killin’ it!
