What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

Movie Mike has a great perspective on movies. It’s a real opinion that he always qualifies with why he thinks the way he does. He doesn’t act like a highbrow movie reviewer. No snobbiness here. But he is extremely knowledgeable about the movie industry and the players involved the way any movie nerd would be. His spoiler free reviews gives the perfect amount of context and insight to help you decide if a movie is worth the watch… or the trip to the theater. I also enjoy his “celebrity” interviews and how he gets so much out of the little time he given with directors, writers and actors. Also, love the monthly recap and other show with his wife. They are fun way to get better aquatinted with my podcast “friends”.

This podcast is so fun to listen to! The host, Mike D, does a fantastic job of reviewing without spoilers and if he does do review with spoilers it’s noted. Great interviews with people in the industry and love when he has his wife of as cohost. Recommend this for anyone who loves movies!

Holy balls people. Mike has been my go to now for over a year. I originally listened for the Marvel stuff but all of the original bits is what has kept me coming back for more. The laughs are the best and when his fiancé and other members of the Bobby Bones show are involved the podcasts are special. Give it a listen!

TlkGeek · Oct 2022

Mike is clearly super knowledgeable in all things cinema, but curates this expertise into very digestible content for listeners. The spoiler free reviews are great, but I especially love the separate spoiler-filled episodes to see if Mike viewed a film differently than how I did. Great content and keep going!

Hillaryyy. · Oct 2022

Good podcast! It’s obvious mike is a genuine and good person. Doesn’t try to embarrass or talk down to his guests like other podcasters do.
