This podcast is a must listen for me every week. Two men with great accents talking about the movies you love and the movies you have never heard of. Always enjoyable. Kristie ❤️
Reading wikis and AI out loud. Reviewing movies but can’t pronounce any characters names. What’s the point?
I’m no prude but the constant swearing is a real turn off. 2 more unfunny blokes doing ‘banter’. Avoid.

Always a great listen. Funny and informative.
