  • Love this show!

    I don’t leave reviews very often but I love this show. And Aaron I know you’re looking for a change I I want you to get that. I just wanted to let you know how much y’all have meant to me over the past couple of years. I love the interactions and the way y’all disagree and discuss movies! The way you pull the theme out of movie, it’s a true gift. I pray for y’all to find what you’re looking for. God bless and thank you for the years! I can’t wait to see what y’all do next.

  • Beyond the Infinite Two Minutes

    This is a really good, spoiler-free, movie review podcast.

    Also, everyone should watch Beyond the Infinite Two Minutes. I wouldn’t have heard about this movie if not for this podcast.

  • Vanilla.... apparently...

    Apparently I'm supposed to add "Vanilla" to the title. But for real, I love the show. It's quick and concise, but what I love most is that you can tell that there is a general positivity about movies and a mindset of they WANT to like each movie. Plus, Dicer does a great job breaking down themes and messages that make me love or at least understand a movie more. Also, I kind of really dig when Dicer gets preachy on a subject, so there's that.
