Finally, a movie podcast that takes place in a car! Pete and Trevor are movie fans with nothing better to do. Come along with us on our drive to and from the cinema. On the drive there, we’ll be discussing general background on the movie and talk about our expectations. On the drive back again, you will hear spoiler talk about our first impressions of the movie having just exited the theatre. Will we see a “stone-cold masterpiece”? Will we see a stinker to end all stinkers? Will we run into traffic and miss the trailers? We’ll answer all these questions and more!
