The End is Sigh
Do you like movies? So do we. Do you like talking about them? Hey, so do we! Tag along as we (Nate and Todd) review all sorts of movies—from popcorn flicks to underrated masterpieces—as well as explore the most random themes we find within them—cults/the apocalypse/revenge/etc—and give you something to listen to while you do chores or commute to work. Or don't. You do you.
New episodes released every Tuesday. Review, then themes, then review, then themes, ad infinitum. Happy listening!
