The Club XP Podcast

By The Club XP

Some people are not ashamed to dig in deep and unpack the ideas, themes, and nitty-gritty details found in popular movies, shows, and games. Every episode, join with game and movie enthusiasts to enjoy a deep and highly opinionated back-and-forth on these topics between friends that don’t mind a respectable disagreement. The Club XP Mission is to level up the conversation so that listeners feel more informed before dropping cash on their next movie ticket or game purchase.
