Customer Reviews
Roland Emmerich
They just did a review of "White House Down". I listened to (and thoroughly enjoyed) the episode even though I don't even like Roland Emmerich movies. They introduce the listener to overlooked and/or underappreciated movies, but the discussions are sooo good - the actual movies are almost beside the point.
Bob is kind of insufferable
He’s always talking over and interrupting Dan and it makes for a very uncomfortable and pretentious listen. The content is very good on the whole, but having to listen to Bob go into long winded soliloquies over and over makes me not want to continue listening. Unfortunate
True story
I like good beer, but I also like this podcast.
