“While listening to an episode the other day I realized I’ve been enjoying this podcast and its hosts for more than 7 years now and even at that, I’d be considered late to the party. It’s been a part of so many different moments in my life along the way. I’ll remember episodes I listened to and...”Read full review »

“I obviously haven’t listened to the entirety of the catalog here (there’s over 1000 episodes) but of the episodes I have listened I’ve always walked away stimulated. There hasn’t been a time that I haven’t completely disagreed with everything they have to say. I may disagree with the hosts...”Read full review »

“…a huge catalog of shows so they’re a go-to for when I need entertainment to justify watching poor movies like 2Fast, Saw 4, …you get the idea! I just heard one of the hosts say she’s from central IL so she’s a fellow home girl too. Keep recording and I’ll keep listening.”

“Stuart: While watching the scene where the wife and husband argue, I saw a barely noticeable frog cookie jar sitting on the table in the background, and because of that I took this scene to be the director mimicking the animosity during the mating ritual of the Cambodian spotted tree frog.

“Great camaraderie, insightful analysis, and differing opinions (at times) allows me to enjoy their podcast. I skip around episodes bc I don’t see as many movies as they appear to do.
If I may, a wish I have is that more dramatic, comedic or action movies would be reviewed. And but less horror and...”Read full review »

“You are woefully wrong about Fire Walk with Me. Film is a better format than TV and aside from Kyle, Sheryl Lee as Laura along with the Black Lodge and the first half hour of the film are the best things in Twin Peaks franchise.”

“I love movies, and enjoy listening to the host’s perspectives and thoughts on movies I have seen. I generally won’t listen to an episode until I’ve seen the movie, so it provides a good opportunity to watch something that I wouldn’t ordinarily watch. I especially love the rapport of the hosts,...”Read full review »

“It would be better without the whiney voice of Stewart who never seems to know what’s going on in the movies they review anyway. And if you listen to the phantom menace episode, he says this really creepy thing about Anakin and Padme having sexual tension. They’re kids!!! Creepster”

“I’ve been listening to now playing for years. At first the hosts were insightful and it seemed like they actually cared about their reviews. Now it feels like they hate every movie (especially marvel) and go in with preconceived notions of the movie being bad. If it’s not an 80’s or 90’ action...”Read full review »

I have already put them in...”Read full review »

“Listened to three episodes and couldn’t handle how sexist and racist it was.
