About this listen

Have you ever watched a movie you were excited for but felt disappointed in some way? Were you left wondering why it wasn't better? This is the podcast that has the answers!

Dalton's deadly serious approach to James Bond was something entirely different from his predecessors. Has it withstood the test of time? Guest Peter Baldeo is back to talk some Bond.

  • Batman Forever
    Jun 11 2025

    It's the 30th anniversary of Batman Forever, which makes a perfect episode for our Season Eight premiere.

Guest Ryan Moran returns to share his love for it.
