  • Great pod!

    Great podcast! I really enjoy the conversations and each of your unique perspectives. The audio balancing needs some work. It’s quiet overall and some voices are drastically louder than others leading to a challenging listening experience. Great show but a little tighter editing might go a long way!!

  • Almost great...but too many spoilers!

    I listen to this all the time for recommendations, and I've gotten a ton of good ones. The main problem is that Eric does not seem able to describe a film without telling the entire plot and often giving away a lot of the surprises and twists of the movies. He also rambles on and on, searching for words and interrupting others. It's pretty grating. The other regular hosts are great and describe films without giving away the goods.
