Love this podcast. Been listening for years. Mike S is a great host and he brings a fantastic supporting cast. I love how they bring the behind the scenes stories for each movie and bring unique perspectives even for movies you can tell they didn’t like. I’ve also started listening to The Specter Cinema Club and Holy Terrors because I really enjoy both DeVaughn Taylor and Brian Keiper from this podcast.
