great if you have no interest in movies

if you don't wanna watch these movies but need to get the girst in order to feign consiousness during worklplace conversations, this is a great binge

i like it when their guest actually likes the movie tho

Sam seems to have no ability to feign interest in something
Gabe seems to have no ability to not talk about how McDonald's used to be good

Smart and funny

Super insightful with some good laughs. These guys not only know film, and know the film they review, but wow they provide a lot more context around the film, the genre, related culture and history, etc. than most film podcasts I listen to. You get a full picture of the movie that extends outside of the film itself. A nice find!

Intelligent insights; a great listen

It's obvious these gentlemen do their research before stepping into a film review. And they are hilarious to boot! Definitely check this one out. It's a great ride.
