Eulipion ,

Perfect format

These quick-take reviews give you a good idea of what to expect without a long, overwrought deep-dive. Also, I really dig that Damien is reviewing movies that didn’t receive a ton of hype or critical attention — it really helps you decide what to watch.

Pod Addict T ,

Thorough and Thoughtful

These reviews lead you to a thorough and thoughtful understanding of the film being reviewed as well as a comprehensive view of how one might incorporate complexities from film history into a deeper understanding of the film being discussed.

Damien Riley

Damien has a light touch in talking about movies. He's a guy who wants to share his opinions and he does so in a nicely produced brief show. Ten minutes with the show is like hearing from a good friend what he thinks of a movie.
