Customer Reviews
Amazing!
You guys are FANTASTIC! This podcast is so entertaining and is so enjoyable to listen to. After finding this podcast I have been binging all day for the last 3 days. THANK YOU
Fun pod covering a great time for movies...
Pros:
1) Great movie era, strong library of episodes/movies already recorded and available for listening.
2) A wonderful self exercise you can do with a spouse, friends & even solo and rate along.
3) Fun/funny side convos between some of the hosts that are relatable.
4) Movies seem fairly rated.
The only detractors for this podcast are:
1) some of the hosts aren’t entirely entertaining and come off a bit dry.
2) The “mix” has been off lately. Very much a “groupthink” vibe going on that bleeds into the review and enjoyment. See next point.
3)A little on the “woke patrol” side of things, but that’s very “of the times.” Everyone’s got a soapbox I suppose. Often times I think the era and social norms of the 80/90’s are lost on a few of the hosts.
I started with Rog and “Big D,” loved the chemistry and friendship between them. Since this became a popular pod some personalities have been added, some for good, some for bad. Rog’s ugly divorce has certainly left a mark and void. That all said, there should be a little bit of something for everyone to enjoy.
Overall I’d recommend this to anyone who likes the 80/90’s. They do a lovely job with their TV coverage as well. But similar gripes exist there.
Hilarious Podcast! A Righteous Retro Rambling Riot!
I loved going to Movies to Go when i was a kid and I probably own half if not all these movies on blu ray now! But enough about me! If you are a Die Hard fan of flicks from the 80s and the 90s, you will dig this podcast! Amazing conversations! Thanks for making my day! Ya Killin it!
