The Critic and the Cynic
by Dave William
Dave is a film critic. Hilary, his wife, is a cynic. Together, they have a different approach to movies, and have come together to discuss a wide variety of movies in a whole new way. Each host has three buttons: THE CRAP BUTTON: they both have only one chance during a marathon to decide right then and there that this movie is going to be worse than anything they will watch. THE UNICORN: A movie so good it's as rare as a unicorn THE NOPE: they have one shot to veto any given movie...but only once. Join them as they go through some of the worlds best and worst movies ever made.
