“Man, was looking forward to listening to he Gone with the Wind episode and got hit with the usual anti racism disclaimers. If you are that weak just don’t do the episode.”

“This will be the last episode for me. I’m a fan of the podcast but the paywall options don’t work for me. I will miss Classic Movie Must particularly the ones with Ted Walsh. He’s such a movie scholar without being arrogant”

“I just finished listening to your discussion on The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance. It was thorough and insightful, and I enjoyed every minute. I am now a subscriber. Think I’ll give a listen to your take on Lawrence of Arabia next!”

“The podcast consists of the host spending several minutes recapping the film’s plot, followed by reading an essay that is painfully overwritten, especially for an audio medium. It doesn’t make for a great listening experience. I would much rather read his essays on a blog, and listen to him...”Read full review »

“This is a monotone reading of the synopsis of the movie. No insight. No interesting tidbits or facts. It’s basically just some guy retelling the plot of the movie. I don’t get it. I know what the movie plot is. I was looking for something new. Something about production, back story, anything....”Read full review »

“I have been listening to this podcast for a while now. The only episodes I enjoy are the rare ones that are conversational with a guest. Even those can be irritating when Max will have an opinion and ask, “Don’t you agree?”. Most of the episodes are Max reading a text. I would tolerate this...”Read full review »

“The excruciating dissection of the final scene of “Now Voyager” should succeed in leaching all the joy out of this classic film. Had Bette Davis been consciously thinking of all the acting tricks here attributed to her, she wouldn’t have been able to perform at all.”

“I just listened to the host read a PhD-level submission of information about Parallax View. I myself have only a PhD in law so much of the read dissertation was indecipherable.

“Max knows his stuff although it should be possible to discuss a movie without summarizing the plot. Kind of spoils it if you want to watch the movie. Kind of think, what gives him the right to crib note the plot? Doesn't the story belong to the writer, director and producer?”Read full review »
