    Love
    Look forward to catching up with the ladies every week. I actually like the ad breaks because sometimes they interrupt in the funniest times. Also, you should profit from your work! Thanks for the great chats.

    Great podcast
    Glad I found them
  • Rhino615
    Great film reviews!
    Two funny people with great takes on movies. Their podcast chemistry is amazing! I live at the end they talk about other movies and songs that came out around the time of the movie they’re reviewing. I also like that they add what else they are “geeking out” about that is current. Please subscribe you won’t be disappointed.

  • GT896
    Awesome podcast!
    I love these ladies! I followed them from the What a Creep Podcast, which is also great. I wanted to hear them chat about something more lighthearted and this podcast did not disappoint. It’s like listening to friends.
  • Thecoffeeisperfect
    Just okay
    I love movies so this should be enjoyable for me. Their conversations are boring, especially when they start talking about a topic other than movie (which is often). Lots of swearing. Not for me.
  • Ali_P72727
    An adorable podcast!
    I love Margo & Sonia! Their love for movies & their commentary make for a great podcast! I even listen when I haven’t seen the movie.
  • Kboris73
    Smart & Funny
    I found this podcast via the podcast What a Creep and I am hooked. It’the perfect podcast to listen to while I do the dishes or fold laundry. I feel like I am laughing with it gal pals.
  • Montana 706
    So good!
    I have been listening to Dorking Out since the Death Becomes Her episode. I look forward to Dorking Out and What a Creep every week. Margo and Sonia are the best hosts. They have great taste and hilarious takes. I usually listen to my podcasts on 1.2 speed, but I slow it down for this show… just so it lasts a little longer. Thank you for the weekly laughs!
  • Sara from Boston
    Like hanging out with friends!
    Love listening to this as well as What a Creep! Such fun episodes and love the walk down memory lane. Highly recommend.
  • Roselilyviolet
    This Podcast Rocks
    This is an awesome podcast covering the best movies. I also am a big fan of their other podcast” What A Creep”.
  • Leenalady
    Just perfect!

  • dammittAnita

  • thelady2000
    Fun but Thoughtful
    I’m obsessed with this pod. I love the hosts recaps and also their perspectives and memories, they are movie lovers of the people. I love when they tie other subjects to the movies at the end. Comfort listening but not mindless, if that makes sense :)
  • With his original
    5 stars
    Great
  • Warrior Rod

    Young Frankenstein (!)
    I love listening to y’all!! I especially loved listening to you discussing YF! It was a movie that my cousin and I loved to watch as kids!! I still love it! Thanks for making me smile and laugh out loud throughout the entire episode!!!
  • majestictripz
    MY PEOPLE!!!♥️😊
    Where have I been?!?!! Listening to the wrong podcasts apparently. You 2 are So F***in FUNNY!!! I literally & seriously laugh out loud to myself, scarring my dog in the process I might add. 😂 Some of the “out of center” movies you choose to dork out over, are the same movies I’d watch over & over again. My friends & family usually didn’t “get it” the way I did. So, to now hear others enjoy them & think the way I do about them, brings a tear of joy to my eye! 😝😝😉 Thank you for the energy & enjoyment I’m receiving from your pod. I’m so glad I’ve found you!! Oh, I’m also binging your other podcast about creeps. You 2 are the wo-MAN’s!!! 😉❤️😂😘 Much Respect, Wen

    See Sonia Swear
    I love you guys but ... Sonia! Count how many times you say any iteration of the F word during the first ten minutes of the review of The Apartment. It’s such a turn-off. Use for effect only, please. I’m you’re same age, so trust me, swearing doesn’t wear well on us - not when used too liberally.
  • trod10
    Thank you!
    You guys are so great to listen to. Your helping me fall asleep at night after long hard days dealing with stress related to supporting people suffering with emotional impact of pandemic. I am grateful : )
  • Fontir
    Fun and Informative
    Overall i like it . I do think at times they let their personal biases take movies out of context. I know it’s a different world now but to hate a movie from 1986 because of lack of diversity or sexism or because the producer or actor was #metood later in life gets a little old. We get it, the movie is problematic and not “woke” but to hate on the entire production for its past indiscretions seems counterproductive. Why review it then?
  • KK rocks so so so so MUCH
    Clueless
    I’m listening to your review and, while I haven’t seen this movie in quite a while, I’m so frustrated by you “dorking out.” Terrible. Not good. Why bother.
  • Charlotte Liz
    Adorable
    As host Margo might say, this is the perfect podcast to listen to when folding laundry. This is such an easy listen, it’s light and nostalgic. It’s so easy to follow along and if you get distracted for awhile, no worries you sink right back in. It has become my favorite when doing chores and projects around the house. You might not like this podcast if you don’t like women and/or listening to women.
  • Furl Mama
    Like reminiscing with friends
    This is my number one “feels like hanging with friends” podcast. I’m a Gen X’er and the movies they talk about bring back so many great memories.
  • kpjones33
    Question
    You may not even read this - But here it is. You’re funny as crap... You guys are fabulous... I love most of the movies you pick... (obviously... I’m your age)...and I’ve gotten my sister hooked. I listened to Sliding Doors today... and it’s a good movie... here’s my question... If fate is fate... Helen was going to catch Jerry cheating ... she was going to lose both guys’ babies... she was going to meet James. So how was she not going to die in both stories? If death was her fate... then she only escaped death by choosing the wrong guy? And why is that a comforting movie’s ? Because I listened too.

    Love Dorking Out With These Ladies!
    I found Dorking Out quite a while ago now and it quickly became one of my faves. It’s always awesome hanging out with Sonia
  • Merny436
    Found you!!
    Ok! Love this podcast but I especially love it as a palette cleanser for your “What a Creep” Podcast I listen to a lot of true crime podcasts so obviously your “St Elmo’s Fire” recap is EXACTLY what I needed! Suggestion? Less than Zero?? AMAZING SOUNDTRACK!! It’s such a gooood movie with both brat pack stars and RDJ in the best performance of his young career! Love 2 both of u! Marissa
  • Irishgypsy88
    Love this podcast!
    I love sitting down to listen to you ladies talk about so many different kinds of movies...whether I agree with your opinion or not (mostly I do). Thanks for giving me an escape from the daily grind. I feel like we’re sitting down to have a girlfriend gabfest every time I tune into a new episode!
  • kaveloz
    Best there is out there.
    Anything else out there? Seems I just keep subscribing to all of your podcasts. Just love all the content you ladies provide. So entertaining and informative. I tell all my friends to listen to each of your content. Keep it coming, I’ll keep on listening. Thank you. -Karolyn

    Dorking out at the speed of conversation
    Listening to Sonia & Margo dork out is akin to listening to two friends shoot the breeze during Happy Hour at the local watering hole. Sure, there’s some disagreements amid shots for the word “adorable” but it’s all in good fun since all dorks know that anything held dear is worth defending.

    Two Cool Friends Triggering Funny 80s-90s memories
    I first caught the hosts on the venerable F This Movie Podcast in a very entertaining review of the problematic Revenge of the Nerds. I then migrated over to their own podcast. Sonia and Margo are both sharp, funny, and have a great chemistry--the friends you would want to have with you at the diner after coming out of the CinePlex following any big hit of the 80s or 90s.
  • DaigleDigital
    Makes Me Happy!
    I really enjoy listening to this podcast as I got about my day. Both Sonia and Chris bring a respectable knowledge and insight to the platform and give me new thing to think about. I highly recommend giving this a listen and experienceing what they bring to the table. Worth your time!
  • Dork_Knight46
    Great Star Wars Review
    Love the lingo that happens on this podcast. Fave from the Star Wars review is "balding wookies" and "Poe, Rey, me"...clever clever ;P
  • hydra9
    Turns me onto some shows and such
    I enjoy this show even if I speed it up to 1.8 speed. My favorite moment that did not involve the hosts talking about me when I was on a plane in Asia was when the host's wife discussed her hatred of the Gilmore Girls.

    Luv, luv, luv Dorking Out!
    About 20 years ago (has it really been that long?) I first started reading the musings of Chris and Sonia in Sci-Fi Universe Magazine. What put that magazine head-and-shouders above the competition was that it brought intelligent analysis, insight, and bit of snarky humor to the world of genre media which it covered. Since the folding of that magazine, I've continued to follow Chris and Sonia on websites such as eonmagazine, iF, cinescape, and assignmentx. So naturally I started listening to Dorking Out shortly after it first launched, and I was pleasantly surprised to find it surpassed my expectations. Chris and Sonia have a terrific chemistry, the production value is first rate, and the discussion is always lively, interesting, and well-informed. Give them a listen, your inner dork will thank you!
  • SirJayford
    More organic than a potato
    Dorking Out seems like a conversation between two friends, and gives pretty good insight into things I wouldn't normally think about. It's usually an organic conversation. I like it. It's good.
  • IceDawg9
    Awesome
    Nuff said.
  • DomD510
    Good listen with people who can poke fun
    Sweet. Even though Chris is kind of a blowhard sometimes, but in a pretty self deprecating kind of way... Usually. The trailer special was a pretty fun listen, and the Star Trek episode had some pretty good interviews even though Trek isn't always my thing.
  • AllieD2006
    Nerd's greatest hits
    When they say they're dorking out about stuff they're not lying. Star Trek, Star Wars, Marvel, Game of Thrones, they talk about all of it. In detail. What's nice is they don't take it too seriously, I don't gosh all over the place like a lot of fanboy podcasts. They even, gasp, talk about books and things other than TV and movies sometimes.
  • Alleycatmom
    Clever Hosts; Total Nerdgasm
    Sonia and Chris know their geek culture, and they love it. This is my new favorite nerd/pop culture podcast. Subscribed!
  • IronicPants
    Great podcast!
    This is definitely one to listen to every week. Chris and Sonia are funny and entertaining. I love their fake advertisements. Keep up the good work dorks!
