The Penny Section podcast is where two cinephile friends Lopo(skeptic) & Bam (enthusiast) talk about movies (old and new) in review, anticipation, reverence and distaste. Colorful language (esp. Jamaican bad words), snark and feeling are the common vehicles used to color their experience with the subjects discussed. May talk about other things too.
