Challengers

Bloody Awesome Movie Podcast

This week, we review Challengers. We also discuss sports movies in Concessions of a Cinephile, and more!

The Bloody Awesome Movie Podcast delivers a spoiler-free review of a film, usually a new release with some exceptions, every week. Then Matt Hudson (@wiwt_uk) from What I Watched Tonight and Jonathan Berk (@berkreviews) from Berkreviews.com will introduce a variety of movies or pop-culture-related topics in a series of segments. For some movies, a bonus episode that is full of spoilers will drop a few days later.
