Customer Reviews
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.
Nice intelligent discussions!
I really enjoy this show! I’m not sure how I stumbled upon these two quirky Canadians but I have been listening for a little now and it’s really smart and fun!
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.
