- Weekly dose of fun
This podcast is simply delightful. The hosts have an easy, fun rapport and each episode has a lively, thoughtful discussion of the week’s film. I am an Alonso superfan, so I follow where he goes, but Drea and Kevin are also so enjoyable. Fun way to end my work week!

Through every iteration I’ve loved and enjoyed this podcast.
I’m devastated to learn that Alonso Duralde hates Life of Chuck, but his incredibly wrong opinion on this subjective medium has inspired me to at last leave my first review of any podcast- 5 stars, top notch, they can do no wrong in my eyes, even when hating a movie I loved.
If this review contradicts itself very well, then it contradicts itself. Like the rotating lineup of talented folks on this podcast over the years, and Chuck’s... more

United Kingdoma year ago - Heretic episode, barely talked about the movie??
I was excited to listen to the Heretic ep with Ross. But they BARELY talked about the film. They could have really leaned into Ross’s knowledge of religion. There is so much to unpack in this film… 100% disappointed. First and last episode I will ever listen to of this pod. I absolutely hate when pods dont talk about the topic they advertise.
