Customer Reviews
Good pod good folks
Love the SIKU gang. This is the podcast that most feels like talking about movies with friends. They’ve all seen a ton of movies and have interesting and considered opinions on them, but they’re also funny and personable and each of the hosts has a distinct taste. Their category of focus, 80s/90s/00s suspense and crime thrillers, makes for productive limitations so they have to dig deep and find some truly little-known curios that are fun to hear about, but also allows them to touch on many of the most famous works of the period. (And whatever doesn’t fit in there may be covered on their very great Patreon bonus episodes!) This is the movie podcast I’ve spent the most time listening to and I don’t see that changing any time soon.
dope stuff
makes my work day more enjoyable!
This Review Doesn’t Need a Title. It’s Short.
They are merciless in their ridicule and belittling of movies I admire and love, yet the hosts are so funny that I can’t help but cherish every minute.
