Customer Reviews
AWESOME PODCAST!! 🔥🙌🏽
This is an excellent podcast! Mikey and Heidi do such a good job at reviewing (all sorts of) films! not only are they fun and engaging to listen to, but they share their insights and opinions in real clear ways! - my favourite part of the episodes are how they always take us (the audience) to the greatest story! If you like movies, have a listen! I highly commend it to you!
The ultimate movie/TV debrief you never knew you needed
Mikey and Heidi’s podcasts are humorous, engaging, fun to listen to and yet incredibly thought provoking and deep. I know I always leave the cinema feeling a LOT of emotions and need to unpack and debrief it with someone. Listening to these podcasts help to unpack the feels and dig deeper into the greater story!! It really is the ultimate movie/TV debrief you never knew you needed!!
Unpacking stories against the backdrop of the Greater Story!
Love Mikey and Heidi’s insight into these movie storylines, and how they bring it back to greatest story of all time! So good! Also love their authenticity and willingness to share their own stories and their hearts. Short, succinct episodes; definitely worth a listen!
