- Great hosts and so well produced
I love movie podcasts but this is only one I listen to consistently. Kevin and Will love movies and that passion really comes through. I’ve watched several films on their recommendation and they are always good. I love that they insert clips of their favourite parts. I love the funny jingles. It’s like listening to my friends. Definitely give this a listen.

Irelanda year ago Absolutely love these guys, super insightful and well researched, despite what they claim. My watch list grows every time I listen, great stuff lads
Podcast Addict52 years agodiscodeano- First time listener
I found you through the Picard No Win Scenario ep review. I will be listening to more. I was very affected by the connections made. I’ve had a few of those over the years with Trek in particular and I suppose…that’s why we kind of don’t let go of it. Somehow it’s like being seen in a way you don’t always experience just in regular life. I suppose that is what raises it to true art. When they make the connection with you. I have no idea why but that feels…healthy.

This podcast would be awesome if it was just two friends with cool accents talking about film. But Will and Kevin are actually working Hollywood writers.
