Better than...

a poke in the eye with a blunt stick. Politics aside, Travis was the best "superstar" with the right mix of knowledge and passion. The Round Robin format is interesting and facilitates a versatile film lineup. Some good, some bad, but overall they are pretty entertaining for a bunch of drunken yahoos.

These guys & gals rule

These guys & gals rule , even if they didn’t like the immortal classic Cemetery Man.

mr feck ,

Dead calm.

Do my ears deceive me? Did all of the hosts recommend a great film? Oh Feck yeah. Sam Neill performing with absolute smoke show Nicole Kidman and the great Billy Zane! And to think only 8 years after POSSESSION as I still recommend On the Silver Globe also created by Andrzej Żuławski. Limited addition UK set available august 30 2023.

I fully agree with holly films like Dead Calm don’t get made with the same passion and rawness. I am recommending this podcast with 3 stars based on this episode’s infectious friendship between these podcasters. We don’t always see eye to eye with our hot tasks. But these midwesterners are very enthusiastic and entertaining. They are wearing me down a bit.

Thank you again for reading my comments. I am binging your back catalog of episodes. Thanks for the content🙏
