Hix Nix Stix Pix - A Podcast About Robb's Movies

by The Podcaster's Warehouse

Hix Nix Stix Pix is where movie obsession meets fresh confusion. Every week, Robb Spewak dusts off a beloved classic from his collection and makes Josh Sroka watch it—usually for the very first time. Robb brings the nostalgia, Josh brings the "wait… what just happened?" Together, they argue, laugh, and maybe even agree on why these movies matter (or don't).

Sean Fahey · Sep 2025

With warmth and good humor, this podcast brings classic Hollywood movies to a new generation. Robb Spewak's obvious fondness for classic cinema shines through whenever he describes the movies he grew up watching. He has the perfect co-host in Josh Stoka, who with his open mind and fresh outlook, offers his frank opinions with humor. There's lots of laughs in this Classic Hollywood podcast. Definitely something for everyone.

Uncensored Fan · Sep 2025

I’m not an old dude but still like the films these two talk about. Although the films are a little aged to get Robb’s perspective (the old dude) mixed with Josh (the young guy) perspective is a great mix.
