A movie review podcast that revolves around the always interesting opinions of Steve, Ronald, and John. Facts, Laughs, Friends. This is Movie Schmovie.
This is one of those free-range episodes where the description is just a list of topics that Ronald, Steve and John touch on, like the Fred Rogers doc, Won't You Be My Neighbor?; Netflix Originals such as Set It Up, Ibiza and Cargo; Ricky Gervais's standup career; Miles Teller; and the bloody Benicio-fest that is Sicario: Day of the Soldado. There's probably even more! We lost track.
Ronald, Steve and John had a lot to talk about so they recorded a double-wide episode and then broke it down into two digestible parts.

As a departure from their boring habit of talking about movies that "exist," Ronald, Steve, and John pretend to be studio heads trying to devise a successful slate of imaginary works.
