Simply Fantastic

Dearly Beloved, the movie proposal brings together the best and funniest reviews of movies I have ever read. Skye, Josh and Jason bring out insight and theology from blockbuster films while injecting comedy and personal anecdotes seamlessly. An amazing podcast for anyone who loves film!

Amazing movie podcast

Will this be my favourite podcast - I do!

The Movie Proposal podcast is interesting, engaging and encouraging. Well worth clicking the Subscribe button.

I enjoy the interactions between the two cohosts and and the producer Jason Rugg. You can tell they all like each other. Their thoughts on movies new and old are thought evocative and inspiring. Although I must say, I sometimes wait until I have seen the film to listen to their thoughts because I don’t want some constructive criticism to ruin it for me!

Great for young teenagers up. Well worth giving it a chance.
