Long time listener but I’ve realized I usually feel irritated after listening. This last episode about The Quiet Place 2 was super cringe. In the same breath they said that Millicent Simmonds is the heart of the film. Yet they claim that the film oddly conforms to “outdated gender roles”. What!? The hero of the film is the daughter! Yet because the brother is expected to become brave and fight back the movie is pushing him into a gender role. C’mon!? A peeve of mine in recent film criticism is the compliant that there’s not enough of this. I wish there had been more of this or that. I realize that’s relevant in some cases but it’s become the overall critique with many current day reviewers. The critics I grew up with like Roger Ebert reviewed what was on the screen. In the case if Quiet Place 2 they complained there wasn’t enough of Millicent Simmonds. Also it might be time to change the opening music and maybe less nitpicking with more positivity.

Their film reviews are honest, subjective, personal and entertaining. If they hate or love something, they say so and why they felt that way. It's a nice...Read full review »
