“If movie critic duos could be likened to religious philosophies then Adam and Sam of 'Cinecast" might well embody the Buddhist 'Middle Path' of balance and harmony. Allow me to elaborate. They are on the one hand prolific consumers of cinematic offerings, past and present, and certainly have a great deal more experience than the average movie-goer. This is countered by their relative unfamiliarity with certain classics, genres and directors (eg. "Gandhi," westerns, and Alfred Hitchcock), which might be sacrilege in the eyes of the Eberts and Roepers of the world but here allows the audience a chance to evolve an appreciation of these not as-of-yet experienced pleasures along with our hosts. Furthermore, for while Sam and Adam (or is it Adam and Sam?) are often loathe to check out the latest blockbuster popcorn-muncher or Rob Schnieder vehicles in favor of art-house and indie fare, the pods which they cast so expertly, regularly and often-ly nevertheless lack all traces of pretension or snobbery. When you agree with them, you come away with a deeper appreciation of the film in question. When you disagree with them, you may in a futile gesture attempt to argue the point with your unsympathetic MP3 player or an unfortunate friend/family member/coworker/random passerby until you’re blue in the face…and yet you’ll still come away with a deeper appreciation of the film in question. They’re that engaging, witty, intelligent, and perhaps most important of all, humble. Give them a shot, won’t you?”Read full review »

“I listened to this podcast looking for a decent review but in the 10 weeks I listened to the show I couldn't find one movie they liked. Adam and Sam seemed to dwell on the negatives and left me not wanting to see any movie they reviewed because they made it out to seem so terrible. This would...”Read full review »
