Our Friends Said They'd Listen
74 episodes - English - Latest episode: about 6 years ago - ★★★★★ - 11 ratingsOur Friends Said They'd Listen is one of the two greatest podcasts hosted by David and Ron, who host two great podcasts. We talk about all kinds of movies - especially old and obscure ones. Plus really bad ones that we like for some reason. Nobody wears pants during taping (we thought it was important to include that last part).
