My Positive, Playful Review of a Delightful Podcast
I discovered this podcast through Cold Crash Pictures / Serge’s weekly tweets. As I am a dedicated fan of Serge’s YouTube video essays and am generally interested in his film opinions, however odd the film in question, his tweet-alongs intrigued me enough to give the podcast a listen. It is quite frankly a singularly enjoyable experience. I have barely any familiarity with the films discussed (except Ladyhawke, you monsters; the 80s synth score is a decadent delight & clearly elevated it to new heights of cinematic entertainment. Have you no hearts??) and none with the hosts, but their chemistry is palatable, the banter immensely enjoyable, their discussions fascinating & well articulated, and the format incredibly fun. I am still making my way backwards through their past episodes but can definitively say this is a solid show and would highly recommend everyone to give them a listen. You can’t really hold their blasphemous Ladyhawke beliefs against them too stringently; we must be gracious to those unfortunate souls who can not know the depths of joy & hilarity of said film and pity them accordingly. But really, the show is fantastic. Hope they one day watch & discuss Ridley Scott’s 1985 film Legend (any cut whatever; it’s got like, what, seven? The typical excessive Ridley Scott number of cuts). Hope the review is helpful to potential listeners into giving the podcast a go and in boosting their engagement level for algorithmic reasons.

Great podcast with two fantastic hosts. Very entertaining, not always the most comprehensively researched, but very solid and well produced. That said, there is an annoying tendency for the podcast to go way too woke - especially the episode on Bigelow’s ‘Strange Days’ which included the most...Read full review »

This podcast is great and is so much fun to listen to! Totally underrated! As a inspiring film student looking to go into the film industry this podcast reassures me that you can make a film about pretty much anything! How about an intergalactic duck coming down from space and joining a band? Why...Read full review »
