About Us

Meet Ellie & Ray

We’re a married couple whose movie nights usually end with a conversation and sometimes a debate.

Fueled by Coffee grew out of those conversations. We watch together, but we each bring our own perspective on the story, performances, filmmaking, and what an ending really means.

Ellie has a soft spot for dramas, thrillers, space stories, and “end of the world movies.” Around here, a global catastrophe can absolutely count as comfort viewing.

Ray loves horror, biopics, comedies, dramas, great writing and great cinematography. He loves the technicalities of what makes movies what they are.

You’ll find written reviews, podcast conversations, and our individual coffee ratings: Americano, Drip Coffee, Cold Brew, Dark Roast, and Espresso. We score independently before comparing notes, so you get two honest takes.

We’ll help you choose your next watch without spoilers, then clearly label the deeper discussions for when you’re ready to unpack everything.

Grab your coffee and join us.

Two perspectives. One movie. What’s your brew?
