Customer Reviews
Thank you both!
I love the podcast. I came to it from the evolution of horror podcast. I was intrigued by Mary’s reviews. Thanks again!
Astounding
One of the greatest podcasts not only about films but touches on more. These two are brilliant, funny, and endlessly entertaining. I cannot recommend this enough!!
Brilliant and Entertaining
Mary and Sarah are a joy to listen to! Their pyschological and emotional insight into film and life is a true gift, and I have learned so much from them. (The pod is also great for someone like me who deals with anxiety quite a bit, as Mary and Sarah both have wonderfully soothing voices.) Thanks for everything you do, ladies!
