Customer Reviews
Just the business
Found these guys through Verns web site and been listening ever since
So funny and relatable. Reviews are cool, for some painful sounding movies !!!! (Although gutted that Black Rain & Falling Down are locked away)
They so need to do a deep rising, or people under the stairs review
Love it!
Found these guys through Outlaw Vern’s episode that he promoted on his website. As a massive fan of 80s/90s suspense thrillers it’s been amazing to revisit some films I’ve not seen in ages (Single White Female, The Net, Breakdown), and watch some awesome ones I’ve never seen before (Ricochet, Stick, Dead Calm). The hosts are pretty funny and have often differing opinions from each other, with some great/bad impressions along the way. Totally recommended if you’re a film fan, and especially good for long drives as the episodes are well over 2 hours long. Only complaint is that it’s not weekly!
