Newmusicallover ,

love it

really nice to hear criticism directly after seeing the movie

HaasCL ,

More Please!!

I like LTT best when Ronald and his guest argue about the movie! Not only is it funny but it gives me an opportunity to think about who I might lean toward in my own viewing.
Also, I love Ronald’s laugh!

Warm, Fun, Thoughtful

This quickly became one of my favorite podcasts. Whether or not I agree with Ron on a particular film, I always enjoy and respect his reviews (here and in other podcasts). I particularly love this; because one of my favorite things to do is go to a movie with friends and discuss it fresh right afterward in the car or at a café. This has that same feeling. It’s warm and fun and thoughtful. Thanks, Ron, and guests. (Ron’s podcast Weight for It is also quite good, but very different.)
