Shawn Robare ,

Enlessly entertaining cult film talk

I'm a huge fan of cult films and dig shows that discuss them (heck, I co-host one myself called the Cult Film Club.) The hosts in this show do it very well, with a great balance of insight, love and comedy. Three episodes in and I'm hooked.

The Sports Guru Show ,

thumbs up

they introduce new listeners to new experiences thru movies. They break down movies play by play in a entertaining manner

Albrexor ,

Lots of fun

some movies i’ve never even seen but tons of fun. I will be interested to see what they say about this summer’s blockbusters.
