Great format, serves little purpose

“The format of the serpentine-style drafting “game” is excellent. I love rules and there are plenty of them here. I’ve listened to some good episodes (Pixar, Best Actress films, Spielberg, etc.) and don’t mind the length. Ultimately, this podcast exists to affirm or challenge ones own opinions on films because the final list doesn’t really matter (Billy Wilder, Audrey Hepburn). The format of this game is excellent and should be lauded—what a great premise. Clay is the stronger commissioner because he has seen more films. Ryan has never seen anything but will promise to consider watching them maybe sure okay; his form of commentary is also just saying semi-big words that, together, mean absolutely nothing. Some GMs are charming (Drea Clark, Chris Feil, Wesley Morris, etc.) and some—most—are really obnoxious. I’ve decided to unsubscribe after the 2023 Mega Draft because the tension between GMs who take the draft seriously and the ones who don’t really highlighted how pointless the lists actually are. Also, I’m not too keen on how often the drafters skew white, male, and film bro. Basically, I’ve had enough.”

It has a great and diverse array of subjects from blockbusters to art house covering all kinds of genres, though I especially like their horror topics. Some of the choices make perfect sense, some are quirky weird choices (especially if it’s...”Read full review »

“I am shocked and horrified to realize that I have not yet written a review for this exemplary podcast! It has a clever sports format but its veins run pure cinephile. Even if I disagree with a ranking of a film, I often add at least one or two great movies to my to-watch list. A must listen to...”Read full review »
