  • For All Who Love Movies

    As a weird str8 who loves the cell, this podcast resonates with my soul. You need not be a film snob or Oscar obsessive to enjoy this podcast thought. Joe and Chris fill every episode with their love for movies and all the ridiculous aspects of the film industry and community. If you love movies too, you will feel connected by this podcast to a whole world of people who feel like you do.

  • Start listening for the back eps alone

    It’s funny AND you get a rich back catalog of ideas for movies to watch, which is better than scrolling the streamers for half an hour.
