“Great show. Why are the ads triple the volume of the show? Very annoying and ineffective.”

“There used to be a lot more and diverse content in each episode. Now I feel that they spend too much time talking about what the guest has studied and specialized in more than the movies. By the time any part of the movie is discussed, you’re already 2/3 of the way through the episode. Coupled...”Read full review »

“Used to love this podcast, but it’s now basically just an advertisement for Discovery+. Also they seem to be reviewing nature documentaries more and more rather than debating the science in fiction movies.”

“This was my favorite weekly listen. You get a good dose of science and comedy while hearing about a movie. Brilliant formula, but now it’s a vehicle to hawk the crap Discovery churns out.”

“I feel like this show has gotten progressively less science-y as it’s gone on. Many recent episodes seem to spend almost no time actually talking about the science of the movie in question — just talking about it, recapping, and patting their own backs.”

“Do you ever want to learn stuff but wish it could be snuck in with laughter like a dog being fed pills hidden in peanut butter? If you answered “yes”, “maybe,” or “what?”, then this is the podcast for you! Won’t the science get too dry? No, there are comedians there! Won’t the comedians hijack...”Read full review »

“They really don’t even debate science vs the movie anymore like they did when it first started they just talk about the movie now like so many other podcasts already do so it’s basically a waste of time”

“The Atlantic Conveyor Crisis was shouted out by James Burke in the 80’s in his PBS series AFTER THE WARMING! It would’ve been nice if he had gotten some cred for seeing this ages b4 the Silver Screen...
Keep up the great work! 🖖”

“First off: that opening with the Ariel (aka Darlene) from your Little Mermaid episode literally almost had me falling out of my chair because I was laughing so hard. I listened to it a dozen times. That being said, I love all the shows. The special guests and the topics, and the way off topic,...”Read full review »

“The climate has been changing constantly for over 4 billion years, and to presume that we can alter it in any way, either positively or negatively, is the height of arrogance. So buy a new string for your banjo.”

“I started with the episode on The Shining. I couldn’t. Make it through the whole episode because the guests were awful. Excusing a director’s abuse of actors? Any professional in psychology should know when mandatory reporting was enacted, and knows the difference between psychopathy and APD.”

I really like the banter between Ethan (host) and the comedians, but the podcast also does a great job of picking scientists who communicate their research well. I have a PhD and I enjoy the science...”Read full review »

“Has this host ever heard of IMDB.com? When discussing the movies, the host doesnt even know most of the names of the actors in it ! Plus, before the podcast starts, does he ever ask his guests how to pronounce their names? He always mispronounces them. The only saving grace is his guests. Not...”Read full review »
