  • No hate but……

    I’m sorry to say this, but I like the podcast more now that Freddie has left. He always seemed to rush through every episode, which made me wonder why he was doing it if he seemed to have no time for it. I like listening to people speaking at a normal speed, which is what is now happening.

  • What happened to Freddie??

    I really love this podcast, but it has changed since the beginning. I love John and his thoughts on all of the movies and behind the scenes things, but what happened to Freddie? Is he coming back? If it’s mentioned in episode, maybe put something out on social media, because I do tend to stop listening when I realize the episode isn’t what it was in the beginning. I loved when Freddie and John would go through the movie and give their thoughts throughout.
