Each week, Danielle and Brenton discuss a movie from the Internet Movie Database list of best films, as rated by IMDb account holders.

An 'Honorable Mention' episode is released once a month, discussing a great film that didn't quite make the Top 250 list. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
