  • Different Take

    Aussies Paul and Wayne certainly are original in the movie reviews podcast scene. Quite entertaining most of the time and their Top 10 episodes quite fun. Only complaint is I have trouble hearing Paul very often as he comes across as mumbling sounding. Perhaps partly due to the Aussie accent but more than likely just a low talker. Wayne is clear as a bell, especially that hideous laugh :)

  • A dash of joy and craziness in my week

    You guys without a doubt always make me laugh. And I’ve been listening for years. And whenever you drop a local Perth reference, I feel a dash of pride/embarrassment/cringe. Thank you for being one of the highlights of my weeks
