About this listen

From obscure VHS finds to the biggest box-office smashes, we dissect films with spirit and cinematic passion. Whether it’s a forgotten gem, a modern blockbuster, or Hollywood’s latest attempt at a reboot, we’re watching, debating, and occasionally yelling into the void about it. Think of us as the late-night movie conversation you wish you had — unfiltered, unapologetic, and always chasing the magic of great (or gloriously terrible) cinema. New episodes every week, your cinematic fix, served with a side of sarcasm.Alan and Paul Art
