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.)

Such good takes

Ronald’s honest thoughts make you want to go check out whatever he just watched. I love this podcast.
