This weekly podcast takes a lighthearted approach to the end of the world, focusing on apocalyptic and post-apocalyptic movies. Rather than a formal review show, it offers a sometimes funny discussion about films and the concept of dying. Host Matthew Poland explores the end times through a cinematic lens with a casual and engaging tone.
