can't stop listening to this. Daniel and Henry are incredible hosts. not just knowledgeable on all things movies but also personable as they are some fascinating facts about their own lives. its clear how good friends these guys are and even if the episode is about a movie I haven't seen or will ever see, their reviews are really insightful. ☆☆☆☆☆ all round.
goddammit. I was listening on Spotify and moved here coz I couldn't give a rating. and I can't give one on here either. just a goddamn heart button. you guys are too good for this. every episode needs 5 stars. FIVE.
this is my favorite episode purely for the George and Steven interview.
Heyyy! Dudes! It's DanimalControl here to tell you, if you haven't listened to The Franchise, you're doing it wrong... (life that is!) Daniel and Henry are two outrageously informed and hysterical psuedo-misanthropes that bring you the movies that make you wish for a sequel..plus that sequel... then the other 5 in the series! All in all, a real hoot. If you haven't listened by the time you've reached the end of this comment then you might as well punch yourself in the penis and/or vagina, Kay byyye!!!
I recently downloaded the Castbox app because I started fiddling with the speed playback on Spotify and can now only listen to podcasts at 2x the speed. As funny as it may sound to hear a ramped up version of Henry's Black n Mild-fueled wheeze/laugh or a chipmunk Daniel saying "bayyy-bayyyy!" I had to change over. And I'm glad I did, cause here I gift you with a new comment. YOU'RE WELCOME GUYS! -DanimalControl6669
