“While this is a great concept, the hosts especially the male one tend to want to show each other up in their knowledge rather than having a discussion. They overly think about the movies in literal sense rather than think about what the film is trying to say or conceptualize and fail miserably in...”Read full review »

“I’m a fan of therapists taking on movies (ie cinema therapy on YT) and this was great for that but I find it a little hard to listen to with all the hard breathing into the mic, mouth smacking and the “mmhms”/ or the audible agreements that I find are not necessary. I’d also love a little bit...”Read full review »

“This is an amazing podcast I just stumbled upon. I’ve gone through a few episodes and love a lot of the movie choses, but would like to see more variety.

“I went to college for Psych and Sociology and I am a HUGE movie/ tv show girl, so this podcast for me is a no brainer!

“I found this podcast in September of this year. I love the concept as someone who loves TV and psychologically. It adds a fun new layer to movies and media that I hadn’t thought that deeply about. In addition, this podcast handles heavier topics with grace which is wonderful. Would recommend!”

“I sooo wish I could like this podcast but it’s a case of too many cooks… then there’s an annoying nervous giggler I don’t know which host it is. I’m guessing it’s nerves or maybe tipsiness as it’s not related to anything funny. No one is really funny on this show but that’s a disease in...”Read full review »

“…and I just found it! I really appreciate their take on rom coms (I just listened to Sleepless in Seattle) as they make me feel validated in my criticisms of the expectations they set for women. The rescue mentality, the idea that stalking is ok , etc that are seen as “romantic “. Ugh. I know the...”Read full review »

“The episode I just listened to was an hour and 45 minutes long, meandering, no apparent structure. Biggest issue: EDIT. They leave in the “um”s, the long pauses, the people yawning, the awkward “two people talking over each other” moments- this is podcasting 101. EDIT, PLEASE!!!”
