Your hosts (Elliott Kalan, Dan McCoy, and Stuart Wellington) watch a questionable film, then engage in an unscripted discussion about the movie's shortcomings and occasional delights, while never being afraid of a pointless, silly digression or two hundred.

  • Would be 5 stars

    I’m giving this 4 stars. A good show overall, but sometimes Elliot Kalan can’t stop talking all over the other hosts and guests and it gets really frustrating to listen to.

    It's good but frustrating
