Must Watch/Must Listen

Do you love movies? Do you love talking about movies with people who love movies as much as you do? Do you love talking about specific moments that impacted you while watching a film? This is the podcast for you. As for the hosts, what can be said about these two gentlemen that hasn’t been said? Steve and John provide a careful and thoughtful analysis through conversation in every single episode of this podcast. They take the time when needed and explore the smallest of moments if it is important. They laugh often and genuinely listen to each other. They feel like friends, and on top of that I learn so much from each episode. I have listened to the Cine-Files for such a long time and have loved their evolution over the years and I look forward to many more episodes, years and laughs in the future.
