“They have broken our hearts by leaving. However, I plan to listen to the old episodes and catch up. This was the best movie review cast. 😭”

“This is the best podcast out there for finding hidden gems that you have probably missed — movies that are often better than the latest release in theaters that draw from these older movies.
Unfortunately there are so many technical issues with their recordings that you’ll be forgiven for...”Read full review »

“Good content but both the presenters have annoying nasal voices. The female says ‘like’ so often, I stop listening to what she is saying to count them. With a bit of effort on their presentation this would be a much better show.”

“I love this show for a few reasons: Alison and Matt have great insights about the films they watch without being pretentious about it. Their taste in flim covers every thing from horror to 80s action to Asian cinema to the more common critically acclaimed films. They have great banter, are rarely...”Read full review »

“As someone with a Roku box and a passion for movies, this is an essential podcast to keep me adding movies to my “my lists”. I like how they have a main review and then lots of other highlights—listeners favorite and new releases. It is like listening to your two smart friends bantering about...”Read full review »

“Male host is insufferable. Save yourself the frustration. I'm an expert on film podcasts, and this guy is pure garbage. Such a shame, too, because the content itself is solid and the female host is great.”

“Seeing that my watching has shifted more and more to streaming platforms, this podcast is brilliant in steering me in the vast ocean of online content. The only regret I have is that here in NZ, we don't (yet) have access to the breadth of providers as the US.

“In a vast ocean filled with a myriad of film critique podcasts, Filmspotting: SVU swims gloriously on its own. The reason being is that Matt and Alison have an honest and unique voice.
