  • Great movie rewatch podcast!

    In general, I like the movies these guys watch and their conversations about them. Classic films and plenty of popular films.

  • Unbearable

    Hosts are self-important and pretentious. I thought I was going to hear about behind-the-scenes information, but too many of their comments pertain to their own lives, which no one cares about.

  • Great movie podcast

    Love this podcast. Steve and John do a great job celebrating cinema. Cover “Red Dawn” since “One Battle After Another” seems greatly inspired by it!
