  • All About Spreading the Love

    Too many “critics” these days are more like professional complainers. In contract, Derick and his crew of esteemed guests go out of their way to find the good in all sorts of cinematic genres, and the result is a hit of pure optimism and positive energy. Can’t recommend it enough.
