  • I'm the host and producer of the show. So obviously I'm biased. But I've been creating and running this show for 6 years now and I would have stopped long ago if I didn't like the content we put out each episode.

    So if you're reading this and on the fence about checking us out, check it out. We review movies and television shows. In the early days of the show, we would cover genres and tropes. We also have a roster of recurring hosts, so there's some really good variety of voice on the show.

The performances by Emma Stone and Jesse Plemons were praised, showcasing a compelling dynamic between the two leads.

OV461 - Better Man (2024) & September 5 (2024) - Guest: Nick Rogers
Q: How do you feel about 'Better Man' in non-spoilers?

I enjoyed Cuckoo. I wouldn't say I was blown away, but it's a solidly compelling thriller.
