What keeps me coming back to this podcast? Is it Ify’s taste in movies and horniness on main? Is it Alonso’s dedication to Holiday Hallmark movies? Is it Midwest princess Drea’s Minnesotan accent peeping out? Yes! Yes to all! Plus they are insightful and fun and funny people. Love their dynamic. And love that they cover movies that aren’t always the most mainstream. Way to go y’all! Also Ify, I’m loving your part in Never Stop Blowing Up on Drop out. Incredible.
Great recs, and a good time had by all

My to-watch list is longer than when I started listening, but I think the overall quality has gone up due to the recommendations of this program.
It is fun and I do care

I was led here by Drea from Screen Drafts last year. All three hosts are talented and have their own individual strengths. BTW, to improve my #1 podcast, I would like to hear more Screen Drafts appearances by Alonso and Ify. They might not catch up with Drea, but they need to spread themselves thinner for us. 🙂
