The Movie Tree

The Movie Tree

Looking for cookie-cutter movie reviews? You won’t find them here. But if you’re into passionate, no-nonsense takes from two mates who just love film—welcome aboard! Each week on The Movie Tree, GPG and Poncho dive into a new movie, but there’s a twist: every pick has to connect to the last one—by actor, director, or writer. It’s all part of their signature Branching Theory. Catch bonus content and behind-the-scenes posts on Facebook and TikTok, and if there’s a film you think they should cover, hit them up at themovietreepod@gmail.com. You can also join in with other listeners on The Movie Tree's Discord. Adios Bitches. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Two movie enter, two movie leave... we but we also decide which is better.

These two have often been compared, or rather Fast has often been accused of being an uncredited remake of Point Break.

So which of these is better in Poncho and GPG's eyes?

So many one liners from Eastwood it's crazy! In fact all of his dialogue is more or less a one liner, a quip or a comeback.
