johnathon w @Hoppynsc 01/01/2022 Another great season like the first that follows another series of classic movies from the 1980's and 90's, from "Back to the Future" to "Jurassic Park". Each film gets its just due with some great tidbits (the revelation about "Pretty Woman's" original ending are nice) and some fun narration. Overall, a great watch for movie fans. See more 07/26/2021 The snarky narration undercuts every episode and having a Brit announcer mispronouncing the names of California cities doesn't help either. See more 07/24/2021 This season is probably better than the first. I love the selection of films but the selection from the first season was great too. The Forrest Gump episode was the best one. I loved this season and I have loved every single episode of this series and the holiday series. I love this series so much. I highly recommend this show so much. This season is a great addition to the series. See more Read all reviews
