Customer Reviews
Refreshing perspectives
A nice change from normally vitriolic movie reviews. Both of the critics are knowlegable and well spoken. I find that I smile every time a new episode comes out, whether or not I have seen or plan to see the movie in question.
I would love to see them review the 1953 french film "The Wages of Fear." It's a devisive movie umong my friends and I would be interested in a third party perspective.
Well worth a listen for movie fans
Katie and Melissa offer up detailed reviews and recaps of movies old and new. Unlike mainstream middle of the road, offend no one movie critics, these two pull no punches. Very thoughtful and insightful recaps, and very often quite funny too. Especially with obvious B type movies.
Love to hear you two take on "2001 A Space Odyssey".
Really smart and really fun !!
I really love listening to Katie and Mel give their opinions, they're so genuine and soo funny, I've been listening to them while I drive really often. I really respect their thoughts, and they seem to genuinely know a lot about film that I would never notice ! I hope that they keep making more reviews !!
