    Entertaining, thought-provoking takes on entertainment
    It’s an entertaining and informative podcast with an enthusiastic look at the world of remakes… Always with a unique perspective, the pair review and analyze plots, music, cinematic techniques, etc. and go into in-depth critiques on each of the works they choose to report on. It helps to prepare beforehand and at the very least be familiar with the works discussed so you can get the most out of the conversations.

    Insightful and relatable!
    Love these two hosts! Nicole and Rolando discuss all things unoriginal in a fun way that makes you feel like you’re right there in the room with them. They are knowledgeable and their passion always comes through, especially when they disagree! Can’t wait to see what they do in the future! -Ben
  • Hulk bowler
    Awesome Podacst
    This podcast is super fun! The hosts are funny and have a great discussion about the topic of the week while also delivering a ton of information. They divide their time well with recapping the previous incarnation of the show or movie and give you a good understanding of it even if you’ve never seen the original. Then they follow it up with current and exciting feedback on the newer version and fill the time with fun banter and well thought-out opinions. Take the time and go back through the catalog of episodes, you won’t be disappointed.
  • Zap333

    Not only do I particularly love this podcast because of its relatable commentary to me as a Latinx homosexual interested in film/tv culture, but Nicole and Rolando are just. great. They are so knowledgeable and bring a super enjoyable level of fun and wit.. all around a fantastic listen.

    Best podcast ever!!!
    Very entertaining! If you’re at work and need something to help drown out your boss this is the podcast for you! Learn about what new and exciting in entertainment and how Hollywood’s well is dry. Do we really need to dig up old sitcoms, old movies, is this really worth my time to watch? Tune in to find out! Is that $20 cash or check?

    This is a fun podcast for movie lovers! You can tell the hosts have done their research to provide insightful and honest reviews. I also like hearing about the history of the movies/games/tv/etc as well as the fun facts about the actors/actresses. Keep up the good work!
