Customer Reviews
Intelligent insights
What a refreshing take on the film & tv in the world! I’m bored with jaded American critics, writers talking to writers, actors taking to actors; just when everyone seems to be fed up with the business, it’s exciting to hear you two come from a place of curiosity, fact-based reporting and humor. Sometimes the voice impersonations are silly but overall, your tones balance one another out. Please don’t change! Keep it the great work.
Great pod
Fantastic show with great analysis
