“Its been about six months since I checked in on FITW, a great podcast that ebbs and flows in my listening rotation, and returning with some distance made something stand out to my ears. How does Ehrlich still sound like he’s recording from inside an empty aquarium tank? It’s 2024, can we finally...”Read full review »

“I’ve been listening to the “Elder Millennial” ep for about an hour but haven’t made it past the first minute and a half yet. Incredible cover Patches, bravo! The cover was so good it got me to write my first review in 7 years of listening to the pod. My sister recommended FITWR to me way back....”Read full review »

“Look what you made me write. But what other opinion am I supposed to have after hockey talk? Hockey boring? Falser words have never been spoken. THEY HAVE KNIVES ON THEIR SHOES!!! Hockey, and especially playoff hockey, is the most exciting sport on the planet. Nothing else comes close.

“I have either been bitten by a radioactive David Ehrlich or I have fallen into a vat of glowing green toxic Film Discourse for I am agreeing with David with increasing frequency. I fear the transformation is almost complete[Brundlefly moving the shotgun barrel to his head .gif]”

“Truer words never spoken.
Come for the comraderie. Embrace the strongly held, reasoned opinions. Suffer through the hot-take-o-rama. Mostly appreciate how fifteen plus years, 6 children, and geographic and professional upheaval don’t stop friends from getting together and ragging one another....”Read full review »

“I’m a new listener- I followed Katey Rich over here since I could no longer listen to her on that other podcast that will not be named. So far I am really enjoying myself and I can’t believe it took me so long to discover these folks. A great balance of reviews and Hollywood industry talk.”

“Dear FITWR crew!
I am writing this review for the show in the middle of cleaning my home. I actually interrupted myself mid-vacuuming to compose this.
Prior to starting my daily chores I queued up the most recent episode of the show as I usually do. As I was about ready to clean up all the...”Read full review »

“Hey all! I’ve only been listening for a few months but this has quickly become one of five podcasts I listen to regularly. I actually like how often all four hosts don’t agree on a given topic, it keeps the discussions lively. Keep up the good work! (PS: Congrats to Katey and The Ankler!) (PPS:...”Read full review »

“Love these folks and look forward to every episode. I’ve followed Dave around through many different shows and can’t get enough of him.
Glad to hear Dave is healing up. Bummed to hear Katy’s VF news - but VF has been falling off for a while Ave I’m sure you will move in to better things.”

“Real quick on the colonoscopy thread - I waited until 45 to get mine done and it was oddly very pleasant. I’ve had surgery with anesthesia before and I woke up confused, strapped to a gurney and in a lot of pain. Totally different with the colonoscopy! I was out for a very short period of time...”Read full review »

“Hello, FITWR hosts! I have been fans of all of your work separately for a long time, but I’ve never listened to this podcast because I felt I already had too many pop culture podcast listens. However, I have been listening to Little Gold Men for almost its entire run, and I am INCENSED on Katey’s...”Read full review »

“David Ehrlich is too much of a depressive bloviator—in both his words and his tone—even when I agree with him. The other hosts are great, but David too often causes me to stop listening. Drop David and it’d be 5 stars. Sorry, Dave.”

“I look forward to this show every week. Listening to it just always serves as a reminder that I like movies, and I should make more time to go see them.
