“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.”
