As a person of faith, I have been afraid of watching horror movies. I liked you all saying to watch the old classics first to wet your pallet. Thank you for this insightful podcast. Great content, great host and guests.

Apple Podcasts5ScottI17United States3 years ago - Great Conversation!
I recently started listening to this show, and have really enjoyed it so far. They have thoughtful, engaging conversations that are also fun and relaxed about various topics. I especially enjoy the substantive cinema episodes. The Everything Everywhere All at Once episode was especially insightful an would be a good place to start.

I love how refreshing this podcast is- instead of leveraging trends, hot takes, or trying to be controversial, it’s balanced in both views and narrative. A must-listen, whether Christian or not!
