  • Love this show, but some constructive criticism…

    Karen and Derek have great taste in movies. I enjoy listening to them discuss some of the lesser-known, and/or more obscure movie releases that come out.

  • Reviews and opinions on Movies

    Dylan has been doing reviews for quite some time now. The quality of them has improved over the years.

    For a podcst that I would listen to anyway the addition of Karen M. Peterson and Derek Miranda is a great. Each person has is their own input to the show.

    Having a balance of opions makes for a more enjoyable show.

    I don't agree with 100% with their reviews, but what is the point in only hearing things you agree with.

    Long time listener, first time reviewer. I love this podcast and the unique perspectives that each host brings to the show. Dylan is one of the hardest working hosts in the podcast business and yet manages to make each one quality every time.
