  • Nope.

    Another podcast of men in a vacuum each one loving the sound of their own voice more than the next. My mistake for yet again trying a male-centered podcast of pedantic non-artists talk about art they know nothing about.

  • Climb on up!

    A fun way to view and review movies. Each week there is a fun connection between films that gets me watching (and often loving) movies I would not have seen otherwise.

  • Great. But 1 Issue

    Came here after listening to The Dark podcast. I have really enjoyed the content and concept but I have one issue. It seems like you guys talk over each other quite often. Not sure if there is a delay. Other than that it is a great movie podcast. Love the details. So many podcasts just recap the movie and that is boring to me. 5 stars.
