The Movie Defenders

Movie Reviews for your favorite movies

The Movie Defenders is a podcast which discusses the positive aspects of popular movies. Most movie review podcasts spend the entire time tearing down the movies you love instead of celebrating them. We take popular movies that have been ridiculed by critics and defend them. Come listen to a fun discussion of the movies you love, or perhaps re-consider a movie again that you didn"t like as much as you wish you did. If you like movies, you found the only podcast with movie reviews that loves them
