Timesaver!

This podcast does such a thorough deep dive on films that it saves me from having to actually watch movies with my husband. Listening to this podcast is sometimes better than watching the actual movie. Keep up the good work!

Fun perspective on film!

These guys provide a fun perspective on films. It’s a good mix of experts and your everyday fans. Totally worth a download if you’re a film buff, or just like for ideas on something to watch.

Just Amazing

These guys are so much fun to listen to. From the Deep Dives to the Captain’s Log, every episode is well done and always good for a few laughs. My personal favorite is the “Another Round” episodes of the show, where we get very imaginary movies with some very real drinks passed around the table! TMC works so hard and you can hear their work paying off every episode. Great work guys!
