    I can’t think of two better people than A.J and Trevor to discuss the greatest movies of all time.

    Lots of love, nostalgia and critical thinking at work here.

    Love it.

    As a mid-90s baby this podcast is definitely very nostalgic for me. I love how you guys cover some less well-known movies like Little Manhattan. I have so much love for that movie! And also Recess: School’s Out is a childhood classic.

I have always loved children's entertainment, and I appreciate that these two have such a clear respect for it. They really make you appreciate the movies you loved growing up, while also reevaluating your feelings on them now that you've grown.
Would love to hear the Scooby-Doo witches ghost review ! Keep up the good work !
