Customer Reviews
Like discussing movies and pop culture with friends
I have been listening for a long time, actually from a time when I myself was in a group where we watched movies and talked about them over dinner afterwards. I have moved away many years ago and unfortunately don’t have a group like this anymore - but then luckily I have Dave, Devindra and Jeff!
Listening to this podcast is like having this discussion back with my movie-going-friends. They often come with different aspects and opinions. I really like listening to the spoiler section after I have seen the movie. Keep up the good work!
The best of the best movie and TV podcasts
David, Devindra and Jeff (+ the occassional guest) host the most heart warming podcast there is. They deliver great insights into movies and TV shows, but also into the culture surrounding this medium. They don't shy away from difficult subjects and manages to bring new light on almost everything.
This is a must in your podcast subscriptions!
By far favorite film podcast
Been a loyal listener for years and I'm almost embarrassed that I'm not reviewing and recommending this podcast before now.
Fantastic film pod, keep up the amazing work, don't know what I'd do without you guys guiding me through the wonderful world of cinema
