What 2 Guys 5 Movies is All About
Hi, all! 2 Guys 5 Movies, a long-form film podcast, will be entering its third full year in 2022. The "primary" podcast features top five lists from various genres and subgenres. We have a wide range in our over 130 episodes. In 2020, we also added a weekly "supplemental" podcast, The Quick Cage, where co-host Frank Pellicone watched and reviewed every Nicolas Cage movie during an 23-month span. In 2022, a new supplemental podcast will begin weekly called The Spin Chagrin, where a ludicrous subgenre will be chosen randomly and Frank will have to watch and review the movie. This will be in addition to the main feed, where we will continue with extensive looks in top five lists.
