Meet the Hosts
Two brothers.
One projector.
Matt and Jimmy live and breathe cinema. Every week they break down the movies that matter — new releases, hidden gems, classic favorites — with spirited debates, heartfelt rankings, and the occasional bracket-style tournament.
Reviews. Rankings. Drafts. Movie news. Top 5s and Bottom 5s. If it plays on a screen, it's fair game.
