Day one ISWYD listener, and I just can’t get enough of Millie talkin’ movies! Love the movie diaries, it’s been so fun getting to know Casey’s perspective! Loving the pod, not loving the disrespect for 👑my apocalypse prince👑 Kyle Reese (played by Michael Biehn), one of an elite group of sensitive dude heroes who helped me gaslight myself into thinking I was straight as a kid. Agree to disagree on that one, y’all ❤️

I really dig this podcast. It’s not easy to find a film podcast that’s not so serious that nobody can relate without film school experience, but which also is not so saccharine and positive that the hosts seem unrealistic. And this is it!

Dear movies · Mar 2025

I’m excited to see where this podcast goes! Millie and Casey each bring something different to the table. I love Millie’s expertise and knowledge of older films. I can relate to Casey’s movie tastes in horror and movies of my generation. I think they’re trying to find their rhythm with each other. I’d like to have it feel less “produced” and have more natural conversation. The segments seem to get cut short and feel forced. Try and let it flow guys! I believe in you!

Dear Mille + Casey, I love you! The theme song is dreamy, the hosts lovely and fun- I love this new iteration after getting my heart broken by ISWYD ending. Thank you for bringing us interesting movies every week!

jfauscette · Mar 2025

I tried so hard to like this podcast but Casey is just annoying in every way possible. The thing is tho- it’s not just that I miss the old ISWYD show- I do! And I miss Danielle and her hot takes on everything, but I’m realizing I really freaking love Millie. It’s just that she seems to kind of hold back with Casey, it’s like a muted version of her, a little more stuffy. She’s a gem and I would love to have her host a podcast and maybe bring in guests or something. It almost sounds like she’s also not thrilled to be there. I keep waiting for this show to get me but it’s just not. I don’t look forward to new episodes at all. Casey literally brings nothing of value- basic film bro- and Millie’s so wicked smart that it just illuminates how basic he is.
