Wannabe Film Buffs
28 episodes - English - Latest episode: almost 4 years ago -Wannabe Film Buffs is a weekly movie review podcast where your hosts Dane Shiner (twitter.com/baitfish9) and JV Hampton-Vansant (twitter.com/RedBlaqueGolden) watch all the movies that they've somehow not seen until now! Their Film Buff journey begins with going through IMDb's top 250 films....with a twist! Each time they get to a film on the list that is part of a series, they binge the whole series before they move on in a segment called Series Binge Hell (for example: when they reach a film like The Dark Knight, the next episodes will be Batman Begins, The Dark Knight, and The Dark Knight Rises).
