G’day from Down Under!

I found you guys through an episode of Jedi Council over a year ago and have been ub-sessed with all your shows ever since.

You have broadened my movie knowledge and viewing incredibly. If I haven’t heard of a movie you’re talking about I’ll look it up and often if I can get my hands on it, watch it. I’ve also watched movies that I’ve previously not been interested in, because of positive comments you’ve made. For example, I always remember John at some point that said he enjoyed Cinderella. It stuck in my head and after having had no interest and skipping over it many times, when it popped up on Netflix again the other night I decided to watch it, purely based on John’s comments and.....I absolutely adored it!

What movies have you not been interested in at all and purposely avoided to then watch due to others enjoyment and ended up loving?

Thanks and love your work!
