My litmus test
for movie podcasts is how do they feel about Mad Max and Fury Road in particular. Two of these clowns aggressively hated it, but love the Fast and Furious franchise so much it’s bemusing. Practical effects vs CGI is the great divider, and clearly their preferences are 1s and 0s. They also seem to place the most value to films based on their box office intake, so it’s probably why they waffled on about Pitch Perfect 2 for almost 20 excruciating minutes, which in retrospect was more entertaining than their complete misread of MM: FR. George Miller and his team worked on this for 16 years. It’s his passion, so if he said watch it in 3D it’s not to make a few more bucks, idiot. MM2 revolutionized action films, has been copied ad nauseam, and FR falls into the same category far more than the ridiculous “Dom and the gang” comment. I agree with one thing: you both are not the target audience and shouldn’t really have reviewed something you’re incapable of enjoying beyond the surface levels. The other funny in a pathetic way statement was 90% of women (ala these two, apparently, “not that there’s anything wrong with that”) would be all over PP2 rather than MM:FR, then one dude said his whole theater room for FR was date night...huh? Longevity in a podcast does not necessarily mean good output.

Movie news, reviews, and humor all in one. Love hearing these guys talk about the movie world. The format is perfect with non-spoiler material in the first half and in-depth reviews in the last. Look forward to hearing more!

I really enjoy these guys talking movies. I find them fair yet passionate about their opinions and Richard's little quips often make me laugh out loud. Can't get enough!Read full review »
