Great show

I always look forward to this and listen to the episodes even if I haven't seen the film yet. Dana is a great host, she is passionate and knowledgeable and provides interesting opinions on each episode.

Great but…

I love Dana Stevens on everything except Marvel movies. I get that you shouldn’t have to be a Marvel fan to review movies but for deep dives surely it should just be left to people who aren’t going to pick out “plot holes” that the co-hosts then have to try to elegantly explain are not plot holes but just lore or canon that Stevens doesn’t know. I’m all for casual fan or not even fans discussing their takes on Marvel but it’s a painful listening to her try to pick out flaws only for someone with more knowledge to correct her.

Update: Have unsubscribed now. It was listenable when there was one wilfully ignorant person but when both hosts sound like they don’t know what they’re talking about it’s almost unbearable.

Hard to do a spoiler review when you don’t understand the film

Oh my goodness the spoiler podcast for Palm Springs was so frustrating!! I loved this film so please watch it again so you can understand the film
