Customer Reviews
A Concept Followed Through
This podcast relies on a excellent concept for a show. The good news? It follows through with knowledge and humor.
They’ll Get You Talking
Alan and James clearly love movies and want to discuss them. What I enjoy most is how they carefully dissect a film and acknowledge that a movie may not stand the test of time, but is still one they enjoy. I don’t always agree with their final verdict, but the joy is in the journey. If nothing else, the conversations they have with each other get me talking about the movies they watch, and that is always a good time.
Great format and chemistry
These dudes have amazing chemistry, and really know their stuff, it’s legit one of my favorite shows out there. Perfect amount of nerd, perfect amount of nostalgia.
