Hi, new member Paul here! I’ve heard great things about this video store from my favorite people, Cameron James and Angela White! Thought I’d rent some movies from the man himself Alexei Toliopoulos! My new release pick is Drive Away Dolls. My two weeklys are Happy Death Day and Baby Driver. All I need now is a staff pick

Best Man for the Job

Alexei is the smartest cinephile that doesn’t talk down to people. Incredible show with amazing guests and insights. All brought together with truly inspired picks. I’ve watched at least 1 movie from every episode and it’s a real treat. Alexei, brother, if you have a pick I’ll not rent but buy it from your fine store. New Release - Weathering with You Weeklies - Tron: Legacy - Iron Man

Amazing

I legit got giddy when I saw the latest episode in my feed. Like, I kicked my feet up with excitement while sitting on the toilet. So thank you.

Excellent

Finally! A duo brave enough to talk and review movies in a podcast format. This is what the world has been asking for!

Best Duo for Pop Culture

My wife and I live in rural Virginia, and this is by far the best podcast we listen to. Amazing film knowledge and critiques, hilarious chemistry between the two. Finding Drago and Finding Desperado were amazing too. We love Cam and Alexei! Keep up the amazing work.

These joy boys are my favorite duo.

I’m in a bit of bliss listening to them banter. They know their stuff and are F U N N Y. Fun fun fun.

Love the new format; everything they touch is gold

The best boys. They are NOT generated by AI. Why would you even think that. The new format is great. I will miss the movie of the week format from them which really reignited my love of cinema. But there are other podcasts for that. Special Features is perhaps more exciting because they get to follow their whims down little rabbit holes and it makes each week a fun surprise.

Are these my new best friends??

I think that’s how this works

Obnoxious banter

I’ve listened to many movie podcasts, and this one was by far, the absolute worst. Don’t waste your time.

Funny, sexy and cool.

A wonderful time anytime every time. Two cinephiles dive into the world of cinema and carefully digest the movie for us, the listeners. You’ll learn a thing or two about movies here. Always something new, always something special.

Fantastic

Please get the same crew that did the twilight movie review to do the rest of the twilight saga. I have never laughed so hard at one of your podcasts as I did with that one!
MEOW!!!!!!!!!!

love these guys <3

please write a Joel Schumacher comedy biopic

Just a fun listen

I haven’t seen most of these movies but these freakin dudes make me laugh my butt off, baby
Colby Park

The only podcast about movies on the internet.

Listening to Alexi and Cam continually misunderstand the difference between undigested and digested food in the Invisible Man episodes was infuriating. 5 Stars!
Jeremie Art

The best and only podcast about film.

You guys are always killing it with the podcasts. Like king Midas himself, every thing you touch turns to gold. And we all know how much you love gold. Who doesn't? Am i right? Anyways, I would suggest you review ‘cape fear’ i never saw the original, but the remake is right up your alley. Theres also the Simpsons sideshow Bob episode that is a riff on the film. Keep em comin!

Thoughtful, funny, and a bit dirty

This is definitely one of my favorite pods that I look forward to every week! These lovely, filthy boys are hilarious and smart and I could listen to them talk movies all day.
thestumpknightrises

Only, and funniest pod about movies baby!

Love these frickin guys. I’m lolling all the live long pod. Please do the Punisher movies!! The first stars Dolph Lundgren himself! And I believe in the beginning of the movie you get to see a silhouette of his dangling plums!! Get on this dude’s, before they fully drop!!

WANNA GET BANGED BY THAT THEME SONG

Would settle for Alexi. Husband’s cool with it.

Glad I found it!

As a black cinephile, I’m so glad I found this podcast while just looking for a new podcast to add to my already packed list of weekly podcast I listen to. It’s so refreshing to hear people like me talk about the things I love. I highly recommend you watch the cinematic masterpiece that is, “Dirty Laundry” starring the always lovely Loretta Devine. It’s an already bad piece on cinema that has definitely not aged well. Thanks for making this great podcast ✊🏾

Two hilarious jungle babies

These two are so funny, I got into this after a friend recommended Finding Drago and I was hooked. They are so quick witted and silly that I’ll be laughing out loud on the metro making me fit in with the rest of the DC metro community. Guys if you are reading this I recommend Zardoz for a reboot, except this time it has to make sense (plus it would be nice if you could get Sean Connery back for a cameo). Cheers!
Todd Noy

Quality!

My friend recommended me to listen to “Finding Drago” and immediately felt cherished. Finally there is a great movie review podcast out here with a twist of comedy. I grew up watching “Mystery Science Theater” and was wondering if you guys have watched it? If not I recommend it to you guys and thought you two would be perfect to start your own similar to it.

Great podcast from two guys who genuinely love movies

This is one of my new favorite podcast after I found it I've spent the past couple days just going back and listening to all their old episodes. You can really tell that both of these guys love and understand films. They are also really funny guys who keep conversations interesting even if you haven't seen the movies they talking about. Cameron and Alexei if you guys are reading this thanks for all the laughs and great discussion. If you want any film suggestions I highly recommend Sicario and Wind River.
