What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

Dan thoroughly researches the news and box office data to provide his audience with the most up to date and accurate information possible. His taste in film also matches mine perfectly so he’s the ideal reviewer for me.

Bear Daniels · May 2025

Whoever mixes this show, please balance out the sound level between the show and the ads. Ads are significantly louder than Dan, which can make for an uncomfortable listening experience, particularly when listening with ear buds.

GMFN3 · Nov 2023

I have followed Dan (virtually) since he was on Screen Junkies. I have always loved his analytical mindset, as well as his passion for movies, which is matched by his knowledge of movies. He really strives to give accurate information, based on credible resources, and his presentation makes it easier to digest for someone who is not as familiar with the box office inner-workings. This is my consistent weekly listen, and I would always recommend to someone who wants to know what’s going at the box office and on the streaming services.

Chatfield_11 · Oct 2023

Dan is a true lover of movies and film. He reviews with insight, empathy, and passion. Most appreciated of all, he tries to keep an open mind every time, a rare and wonderful thing in a time when many people seem to make up their minds about a movie or show months before it even comes out. I also love the weekly box office show, which has me following movie stats the way some people follow sports. If you love movies, check this show out!
