Fantastic

My friend Owen was just on the podcast and it was a perfect fit. Both hosts have great insights and speak with clarity and warmth. Looking forward to spending time with the older episodes.

My favorite movie show!

Great taste in movies, insightful commentary & charming, relatable personalities. I never miss an episode. ...and as much as I love the main feed show, the Patreon bonus episodes are even better! Just a wonderful of rarely seen films from two genuine film enthusiasts (who also happen to be hilarious).

A fun chill movie podcast

It’s a real hangout vibe and not trying too hard for bits like other movie podcasts. Basically I like spending time with these people and I like their taste in movies! Happy this is now in my rotation!

Mama needs more listeners cus this Pod is GREAT.

Funny and insightful convos on various films with great guests and excellent hosts. If you love movie pods like Unspooled and Blank Check you’ll love this. Also love the conceit of rating films through the maternal perspective. Listen already will ya!!!

I usually lose interest in movie podcasts over time but this one has staying power. The hosts know their movies and bring on great guests. If you’re not sure where to start can’t go wrong with a movie you like or a guest you’re familiar with!

Lowkey one of my favorite film podcasts

This has lowkey become one of my favorite film podcasts. Funny, knowledgable, and intimate conversations about how the movies impact the lives of the guests. And their guests are always charming and great. The good episodes feel like eavesdropping on friends chatting about movies, but the great episodes are a little like therapy. First Reformed and Paddngton 2 are good ones to start with if you’ve never listened, along with Top Gun Maverick, which is a super funny conversation- but honestly all the ones I have heard were well worth a listen. I hope they keep making more!

Anne and Ryan are a hoot to listen to! I love how this pod doesn’t just focus on mainstream movies.

A great blend

I love the humor and expertise in this podcast. You can tell that the hosts have studied a lot of movies, and they are articulate enough to dissect them in a thoughtful way.
