  • A Different Type of Review Show

    Justin brings a lot of energy to the show. He reviews all kinds of movies, some of which I had no idea about. I like that he gives quick star reviews from previous episodes so listeners can go back and hear them incase they were missed.

  • The Gordon Ramsay of reviews

    Honestly…I look forward to hearing him just destroy a movie more then hearing a good review of a movie. Keeps me on the edge of my seat hoping for a bad movie. Really entertaining and hilarious!
