Since 2017, we've watched films both good and bad and discussed them while also sharing our stories and experiences with the films. We joke, sometimes it gets serious, but we always do it in our special way. We rate movies based on how entertained we are, so you may hear some controversial opinions. Follow us on pretty much every social media outlet and even better, show us some love on Patreon.
