- The Movie Joker
The Movie Joker is really quite good. The film would be better though if it included a section where J Jonah Jameson, played by JK Simmons, attended a press conference with Jim Gordon, played by Gary Oldman, resulting in a series of scuffles. That is still my all time great moment from this fantastic podcast, followed closely by the Daniel Craig’s James Bond killing all the other bonds and Indiana Jones. Been a long time listener time I expressed the love for this clearly the best podcast ever

United Kingdom23 days ago - Happy anniversary!
Been my favourite podcast since 2016. So this is our 10 year anniversary, congrats to us.
The definition of wholesome vibes that never cease to help in difficult times. I’ll listen to episodes multiple times in the week whenever I need some positive energy.
Even when James is crashing out or Maso is interrupting James, causing him to crash out and vetoing Masos idea. I for one, wouldn’t veto a thing.
