Meet Your Double Feature | Movie Reviews & Forgotten Films

Meet Your Double Feature

Brothers Thomas and Frank set out to see if they can judge a movie by its cover. Each episode, the pair will exchange recommendations for films that neither has previously seen, discovering in real-time if they've unearthed a new favorite or a complete dud. Each film is reviewed and given a score out of 10, and whoever gave the better "blind" recommendation for the episode will be declared the winner. It's a blend of genuine film criticism and quick-witted comedy that you won't want to miss, and it starts right now!
