- One of my favorites
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.

I really loved The Summer of George. I am a zombie movie fan so this was right up my alley. Thank you for including the remakes. I also loved your ranking episode of the best movies of the past century. I’ve been a fan of the show for about 5 years now and it has never been better than it is right now. Keep up the great work, everyone!
