  • Love this podcast

    I’ve been listening to this podcast for many years, back to when Heather cohosted with Paul. There is always thoughtful discussion about a wide breadth of movies. Truly one of the most interesting movie review pods out there.

  • My favorite film podcast

    More than with any other podcast I can enjoy listening to these hosts talk about just about anything, whether I’ve seen the movies they’re discussing or not. They’re very knowledgeable but are perfect for the format in their occasionally offbeat opinions. The cocktail pairings are a charming touch as well.

  • Hey do you know what happened to The Frighteners/Lovely Bones episode?

    I’m writing this because it seems that episode appears to be lost. Since I’d listened to this around the end of 2017 into early 2018.

  • Diabetes no laughing matter

    As the Father of a Type 1 diabetic, who has spent many sleepless nights worrying about the dangers associated with insulin dependency, I am curious to know what Erin finds so humorous about the ‘death of a diabetic’? I suggest educating yourself about the subject to start, and then maybe an apology.
