  • Engaging, insightful, intelligent

    Plenty of production history, commentary, and discussion about movies that are sometimes underrepresented in podcasts - all delivered with good humour by hosts who share good chemistry and are fun to listen to. Great stuff!

  • If you enjoy unscripted rambling babble by two guys who laugh excessively at their own unfunny jokes this is for you. If you're interested in the topic, better off looking elsewhere.

  • Don’t stop ever!

    I found this gem when searching for one of my favorites, Santa Sangre, and I have no regrets. They cover excellent films and even though I’ve watched most of the extras to them, I still learn all sorts about every single film they’ve covered. All of the guys on this show are people I’d love to hang out with and talk movies to!

  • Trekkies and John Waters?!

    I first heard about this podcast on the Computer Resume podcast which I love. I’m glad I check it out. As a native Baltimorean and a John Waters fan, I loved the look back on his catalog. The podcast is fun and informative. Good to know I'm not the only Trek geek who likes Dawn Davenport.
