  • Movie spoilers

    I really like this podcast. And I really like Heidi as well. And it's really cool to hear some of the stories that inspired movies. But I hate how the movies are blatantly spoiled without warning! Everything is given away including the end. I often want to check out a movie after hearing about it on this show but then it's completely spoiled. The show could stay true to its theme without completely spoiling movies.

  • Tried listening to this show, but unfollowed cause of host

    Premise of the show is quite good, but when Heidi adds her own impromptu commentary it really takes you out of the story. The ditzy Valley girl vibe doesn’t really compliment the stories.

  • Love it.

    I love this podcast. I listen to several and stumbled on this one. She does a great job and if you listen to podcasts on the regular you know it’s all about the voice. Her voice is definitely podcast listening worthy. One of my new favs.
