Loving it so far (without Rob, who is now gone)

The ideas discussed blend comedy, arty-farty, and silliness. Great job guys!!! Jack and Darren can disagree and agree, while building upon each other’s ideas. Rob can be good - though did not fit well with Darren and Jack, who seemingly have great chemistry. Rob has/had good ideas, though is less so a builder who blends well into a conversation (which is what I prefer in a podcast). It’s an easy listen without having the uncomfortable wincing moments.

Fantastic Film Discussion Pod

I love this as a 2-person pod. Darren insightfully and comedically lectures, Jack adds in his really thoughtful commentary quickly, passes it off, and prompts D. I liked MB’s previous contribution to this dynamic, but his absence isn’t missed.

5 STARS! (*)

* Brilliant!... as a two-person podcast. More bouncing back and forth, more conversational, more chances to speak. Jack can be Jack and Darren can be Darren and we learn more about them as they get more comfortable with each other. Please don’t re-introduce the third wheel that’s spinning at a different speed upsetting the flow.
