Really enjoyable

Great comraderie, great conversations and great guests. Great!

Two knowledgable guys discussing different aspects of film making and film in general, from modern day to silent black-and-whites, blockbusters to abstract weird Eastern European indies. Definitely worth a listen.

Great show!

The best movie podcast around. These guys really know what they're talking about and will open you up to new ways of looking at film.

Why I stopped listening

I don't mind people having opinions. But when they say it is okay to discriminate against people bases on sexuality or race I leave.

These guys are charming bigots, which makes them dangerous. Dressing up discrimination as free speak is a hideous distortion of free speak.

Content is adequate if you can put up with the small minded attitudes.
