    Great episode as usual counting down top tens. Movies I’ve never heard of that I will for sure check out (Life After Fighting, Caught By the Tides, Red Rooms, Cloud, Hard Truths, La Chimera). Well worth the hour and a half listen!

  • Enjoyable podcast

    Just found this today and have listened to several episodes. Great commentary and observations. Only complaint - choppy editing. It seems that pauses are removed and then cut together too closely.

  • I love this podcast

    As a neophyte film enjoyer, a friend of mine recommended this podcast to me and I couldn’t be happier. Great reviews of major blockbusters and smaller movies I’ve never heard of alike. Jeff, Derek, and Amir have really broadened my horizons when it comes to watching new things, and I find their analysis to be insightful. Loved the Nosferatu episode, even if they didn’t love the movie. Great stuff!
