  • Dynamic movie duo

    These two know their stuff and they're super fun to listen to. The witty banter seperates this from an average movie podcast and the thoughtful discussion will keep you coming back episode after episode

  • A Great Show and with Even Better Hosts!

    Jim and Mike are a great team, topics are always interesting and the show is very well produced. They keep the conversation interesting and entertaining all at the same time.

    I learned so much about Batman, that I did not know before , I highly recommend that episode.

    And I can't remember which one it is, but that laugh is wonderful!!

  • We’re All Fans and Haters

    This is a very entertaining podcast that covers what’s to love and what’s to hate about many stories in pop culture. I totally disagree with their opinions on Joker, but it was nice to hear another viewpoint. Well worth subscribing.

    Great podcast which excels in the most important area - the voices. This may sound weird but I place instant trust in the viewports of the hosts as soon as I switched it one. Entertaining, not forced and enjoyable!
