Its easy to love this show.
602 Club quickly became a regular entry in my podcast rotation. I enjoy the analysis of new movies or shows, but I love revisiting older movies which maybe I hadn’t seen in years. 602 Club makes the classics feel fresh. Thank you for both the entertainment and thought provoking content.
fresh look at old faves
I found this podcast after searching for some discussion following yet another Star Wars re-watch... and I must say, the episodes I've heard so far really gave me a new appreciation for some old favorites, including helping me see some deeper meanings in them. The hosts are knowledgeable and thoughtful, so their discussions are always captivating.
