Welcome to Smokey and the Snobby, the movie podcast where one of us loves high-octane car chases and the other prefers Cannes Film Festival winners... guess who's who? Each week, this father-son duo fires up the engines and reviews films from both ends of the cinematic highway. Whether it's a fast-paced blockbuster or a slow-burning art house drama, we score each ride on our patented but very different 1-to-10 Smokey scale based on runtime, plot detours, and how lost we got in the weeds. Expect laughs, popcorn debates, and a whole lot of loving disagreement.
