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 as much as you do!","last_synced_at":"2026-07-27T08:19:22.459143+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-movie-defenders-1124025"},"episode":{"title":"Ep 220: Twilight Zone - The Movie","slug":"ep-220-twilight-zone-the-movie","published_at":"2026-03-22T22:14:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-movie-defenders-1124025/ep-220-twilight-zone-the-movie","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-movie-defenders-1124025","url":"https://moviedefenders.libsyn.com/ep-220-twilight-zone-the-movie","audio_url":"https://traffic.libsyn.com/secure/moviedefenders/TwilightZone_Show_-_FINAL.mp3?dest-id=556233","summary":"Time to go back to one of the OG horror anthology films ever with Twilight Zone: The Movie!
