Aaron and DJ mainly talk about movies on a podcast called Mainly Movies. We do a new episode roughly every time there is a new movie worth talking about. If this is "your jam" feel free to like this page, tell a friend, or just smile quietly to yourself.
Listeners of Mainly Movies that love the show mention: movies, talking, insightful, great podcast, like, guys, good, listen.
The Mainly Movies podcast has become a delightful addition to my work commute. While waiting for theaters to reopen, this podcast has filled the void and provided me with insightful discussions, great insights, and plenty of laughter. These guys truly do a fantastic job at keeping me entertained.
One of the best aspects of The Mainly Movies podcast is how well the hosts stay on topic. They have an impressive ability to dive deep into movie discussions and provide unique perspectives without straying off course. Their chemistry is evident, making it a fun and enjoyable experience for listeners. Whether you're a fan of superhero movies or not, their excitement over various films will leave you softly smiling.
What sets this podcast apart from others is its focus on movies without getting bogged down in movie news or excessive guest interactions. They keep things simple by just having two friends discussing films they love, and that simplicity is refreshing. Furthermore, they aren't afraid to express their love for popular movies, even including a separate chart exclusively for superhero films in 2018. This level of dedication and passion resonates with fans of these genres.
While The Mainly Movies podcast has many strengths, there are a few areas where improvement could be made. Some might find that the lack of discussion on movie news leaves them craving more current updates and industry insights. Additionally, those looking for in-depth analysis or comparisons to arthouse films may feel that the discussions don't go deep enough at times. However, these minor drawbacks do not overshadow the overall enjoyment provided by this podcast.
In conclusion, The Mainly Movies podcast is a wonderful choice for any movie enthusiast. Their humor, chemistry, and genuine love for movies shine through each episode. I highly recommend this podcast to individuals of all ages who are passionate about movies and appreciate entertaining discussions about their favorite films. Give them a chance; you won't be disappointed!

Hobbs & Shaw is ridiculous, but maybe that’s exactly what we needed to cap off the summer box office. We have a lot of fun talking about the absurdity in the latest Fast & Furious installment.
