  • Smart and delightful

    Very happy I stumbled upon this podcast when I was looking for a deep dive on the movie Flow. Since that wonderful episode, I look forward to this podcast every weekend and have gone back to listen to earlier episodes as well. Absolutely loved the episodes on Conclave and Challengers!

  • More time on the actual movie. Less of your politics

    Listened to several of the movie reviews, which were fairly good. Just listened to the one on the Fred Rogers: Won’t you be my neighbor? The politics in it were just unbearable. One of the hosts is quite obviously very one-sided in his political opinions not realizing that at least half the country disagrees with him. Most of us are listen to this podcast because we love movies not because we want to be indoctrinated with his way of thinking.

Q: Have you read Their Eyes Were Watching God?
No, I have not, but I plan to check it out.
