Customer Reviews
Entertaining and tons of recs!
This podcast got me through several hours of a solo road trip and I found myself wanting to make a list of everything the hosts were recommending to watch! Also hilarious to listen as the martinis slowly take effect 🤣 great pod with lots of industry insight!
Hell yes.
This podcast is hilarious and amazing! Not only are these 3 very knowledgeable about the movie industry, but they also aren’t afraid to say what the rest of us are thinking! Lyna, Natalie, and Shawn all balance each other out perfectly and their incorporation of vodka just accentuates their personalities. They make me want to watch more movies! LOVE the Martini Scale!!!
