The Heavenly Mandate

55 episodes

Welcome to the Heavenly Mandates! Sent from above, we m̵a̵k̵e̵ ̵f̵u̵n̵ ̵o̵f̵ review terrible (and sometimes good) movies for the wretched and beleaguered people of the Earth. Join Josh, Kellen, Erica, and Justin, four old friends from Michigan, as we reconnect and review the films and television shows that marred our existence.

Our podcast began during the early months of the 2020 Covid-19 pandemic as a harmless way of renewing past friendships over grindhouse kung fu cinema. It has since expanded to horror and other genres. If you like listening to four randos talking about films and nonsense, you’ll like us.
