    Stumbled across the podcast as I was searching for reviews on a certain film and was delighted to find this podcast, I’ve listened to a few episodes and Eric and Sean have a nice easy chemistry and don’t take the topics overly serious. It’s like sitting down with friends and discussing a movie you just watched. I’ll be tuning in consistently going forward. Keep up the great work gentlemen.
