  • Not toxic positivity

    Emily really sees things with a perspective that is analytical but uplifting. I always come away with a different read of a film, and it’s evident that she loves movies

  • Would be even better

    If most non-American actors’ names are not mispronounced I would pay to listen to this show but at the moment it is too distracting

  • Perfect entertainment

    Emily is a fantastic storyteller and writer. It’s fast paced, never losing my attention. She’s very funny and understands movies on a deep level, she notices things about films that I thought I was the only one who noticed ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

  • Great!

    Emily is great. She gives a perspective that us everyday people think of these movies. She doesn’t pander to the high grossing, Oscar winning, artsy films just because that is what she is suppose to do. I have been introduced to movies that I didn’t even know were out there and enjoyed them. Keep up the good work Emily.
