“Please get a de-esser!!! It makes it so hard to listen to even though I find these episodes very interesting - so much so that I skip a lot of the episode or don’t watch it altogether depending on the guest. I’m not alone in this.
On the content - I don’t always agree with the reviews and I...”Read full review »

“Interviews the costume designer for babylon, she explains that they searched for the weirdest clothing from that time period. Then y’all complain that the clothing wasn’t the typical clothing from that era on a separate review podcast….”

“I can listen to Matt & co talk about movies and TV all day long! The vibes are great, I love the chemistry in the team, and I’m a sucker for long podcast episodes that I can listen to while traveling, doing chores or working out! Plus, their Oscar / Awards season coverage is UNMATCHED 💪”

“I mostly enjoy the podcast but I agree with others that Dan Bayer degrades the conversations he participates in. His giggling is over the top; he sounds like Cesar Romero’s Joker half the time, regardless of the conversation and he rarely offers anything constructive. More diversity of...”Read full review »

“The book “Dune” as NOT written 10 years ago. It was published in 1965!! 🤦🏻♀️ I will given you a pass if you did not time to read 600+ page book but get the fact correct. But to quote you “put in the work”!!”

Particularly hard to listen to when he has a big windup re the meaning of something - infrared use, title - and then proceeds to sound like...”Read full review »

“I’ve only just started listening to this program so I’m not sure who the “regulars” are.

“So I came for the young mazino interview, and I found it somewhat condescending and a little phoned in. The questions felt very “ok I need to write questions, let’s get through them,” but I’m not sure, they also could have been nervousness. Either way it felt oddly rushed. I don’t know if this is...”Read full review »

“I used to enjoy NBP, but as of late the reviews have become stale and predictable. I think the film Twitter crowd is becoming more homogeneous and the commentary is just becoming one big soup of the same exact takes.

“The host, Matt really struggles with words that begin or even contain the letters “T” and “V”. I found his voice and pronunciation problems unbearable. Having to hear him say “Da” instead of “The” or “Wif” instead of “With” dozens of times throughout an episode made me want to die.”

There is a (strong and...”Read full review »

“Matt, my one suggestion is just consider altering your grading scale. If a movie gets an eight, I don’t care if it’s a soft eight, or a “very, very strong eight.” Even allowing a half mark would create for a better system.
I hope you’ll consider this.”
