Like chatting with a funny and insightful friend

These are fun little episodes that give a hot take right after the first viewing. I like that they are short and sweet and provide the experience of having a brief, often funny / entertaining conversation with a friend after watching a new movie.

Honest and entertaining!

Love Ron and his guests, the ratings are informed and the conversations at fun🎉

Feesh1 ,
