Great. But 1 Issue

Came here after listening to The Dark podcast. I have really enjoyed the content and concept but I have one issue. It seems like you guys talk over each other quite often. Not sure if there is a delay. Other than that it is a great movie podcast. Love the details. So many podcasts just recap the movie and that is boring to me. 5 stars.

Delightful Conversation

The three podcasters are friends, and the warmth of their friendship shines through. They are not just reviewing movies but there is a connection with the current movie to the previous movie. I’m really enjoying their insights.
