Late to the party but the fare was still fresh and enjoyable… but for the presence of Austin’s self-aggrandizing punditry. He wields his seemingly junior college level education with scant regard for the average listener as well as his co-hosts as if he’s desperate to record his voice and small...Read full review »

I’m disappointed this podcast was canceled. Such great perspectives with fun hosts. There’s nothing quite like it.

Too bad it's over. All I can say is listen to my other favorite podcast "Community News with Paul and Sasha" to fill the time and make you laugh.Read full review »

I have heard several episodes and the best ones are the show where there is some disagreement between the reviewers. The team sounds well read but usually fail to temper their gushing for their favorite movies. These shows are too full of superlatives and short on meaning.

Best movie podcast out there.

I can’t believe this show is over. A real misstep for the big bosses. I’ve listened to every episode at least three times and still find interesting new things to think about. I’ll never know the meaning of so many movies. Tragic.

You guys rock. Thanks for all the recommendations!

To paraphrase the final episode: a movie is great when it accomplishes what it sets out to do. What I would then ask is, “what is a piece of media that transcends what it set out to do?” I started listening to this podcast at that sweet spot in college, when you’re at the intersection of...Read full review »

This podcast used to be my favourite as it brought my two favourite things together - movies and philosophy….this all went downhill once the self-centred pretentious being once a guest with the worst sounding mic became a host. We do not care for the rants we do not care for the whole synapses...Read full review »

I just find this show then they end it? Boom three stars, despite it being amazing
Mattd656 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/01/22
They all use so many words to say very little and be very vague about their criticism. The worst kind of philosophy bros.
CliveBoi1 via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 03/11/22
Been a listener for some years now, admittedly y’all (Austin) got me into Lacan psychoanalysis and would love if y’all could discuss Titane (2021)

You guys should do a podcast swap! SMTM crew does an episode of Culture Binge, Culture Binge does an episode of SMTM.
Columbo111222 via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 01/19/22
I love these guys and their takes are always really interesting to listen to and have taught me a lot about philosophy and critical thinking in a very entertaining way. The only podcast I’ll go back to and re-listen months later to try and get more out of it, almost like the movies themselves!

Ryan is dumb. Sorry.

A Brian Di Palma film “Keri” starring Jared Bauer, Keri Smith &amp; Jordan Peterson. A strange young woman’s lurch to the Alt Right culminates in 2 bizarre podcasts with media mogul hiding in Finland.

Finally watched Eyes Wide Shut and was left knowing there was a lot of symbolism &amp; themes that I didn’t pick up on. Luckily, I found Wisecrack on YouTube. Mind blown! 🤯 And then I needed more of a deep dive. Enter this podcast. Massive fan! 👏 Spent much of the weekend watching their videos...Read full review »

It’s funny to hear how these guys complain and trash movies showing no interest or background info of blockbusters, beloved movies or even indies. Is it so hard for a critic to read a book where the movie was based or even watch prequels? Still, fun to hear their indifferent rants.
Guillermo $&@ via Apple Podcasts · Mexico · 12/27/21
I love the conversations you all have around film and philosophy, they’re always interesting, but there is a serious void of diversity in your guests. Other perspectives would enhance this podcast exponentially!
Bakerhunter via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/16/21
I like this show, I generally do. However, if you know you’re a movie podcast, why wouldn’t you bother to do a little research prior to the movie you’re discussing. I think everyone should pull their weight especially if you’re a co-host. And it’s totally ok to not like a movie but at least have...Read full review »

Austin to a large degree carries the show by being the most researched and involved in the philosophical nuances of the film at hand. But there is a lack of representation ranging from race to sexuality and most glaringly gender. A more balanced version of this podcast would have more women,...Read full review »

Great film discussion often incorporating philosophy

Love the chemistry of these guys sharing the floor with each other to bask in the love of film analysis enjoying cinema as art.

I recently discovered this podcast and have been churning through episodes. I’ve also watched things (Ex: Ad Astra) with the motivation of being able to watch the Show Me the Meaning Podcast after I finish the movie. This podcast is great because there is actual respectful discussion between...Read full review »

I have been a fan if wisecrack videos for a long time, but never really got into podcasts before 2021. This podcast is way more interesting that one can imagine. I love the ideas presented and the points of view. Specially enjoy Austin's perspective. Makes you see at movies in a different...Read full review »

I like most of the discussion on the movies on here with one exception,,,. They have to remind us that they are horrible white guys that are full of guilt over god knows what??
marked for life via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/16/21
Specifically, this is my favorite podcast to date. I love hearing all the different analyses and what everyone took away from each movie. Hearing what other people thought or experienced on the same thing is always an enjoyable thing to listen along. They are congenial with the wide range of...Read full review »

This podcast is magnificent they have so many interesting insight about everything and their different thoughts complement each other in a beautiful way. They are conversations are so interesting I feel like laying in there and people look at me like I’m crazy because of all of my reactions to...Read full review »

This podcast was not an analysis of the Shining, but a critique of Room 237. (Yeah, i haven’t seen your faces either and don’t know your day jobs.) Not a very sophisticated analysis.
Milohalb via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/15/21
These casters possess the knack so many others lack: they can have an entertaining and engrossing conversation WITHOUT stepping on each other and derailing the discussion with irritating competitive quips to see who can be the most clever and quirky. Even when they disagree they allow each other...Read full review »

I just found this podcast because I was looking for one that talked about movies, their meanings, themes, filming techniques and more and I found it! I find film super interesting and I enjoy listening to what the members of this podcast have to say about films.
Chelindsey via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/16/21
Really enjoying the back catalogue - it’s a good conversation with some good insights and observations. Also, everyone let’s each person speak without constantly interrupting, which is a big plus for any podcast. Keep it coming! 👍
HarryTheBastard1979 via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 02/14/21
SMtM is a great show that goes beyond the topic of conversation. It goes beyond the typical "reaction" podcast. The crew delivers excellent philosophical nuggets that truly make you think on a deeper level. I miss hearing Jared's voice, but Austin has done an amazing job at hosting in...Read full review »
Joel H. via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/24/21
The old crew of Ryan, Austin, and Jared had a report with each other and a truly interesting dynamic that just worked. Now that Jared is gone, that whole style and flow that I loved so much about the podcast is gone. It’s still a much better deep below the surface look into popular films, but it,...Read full review »

Every writer interested in film should listen to this, but beware spoilers.

The screen play writing class I never took. I love this podcast !
BigD_Fz via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/26/20
I like the discussion most of the time, until Ryan opens his mouth and I feel like I’m losing brain cells by the second.
ShrekLoverSixtyNine via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/22/20
I love wisecrack and it’s associated programs and podcasts but my god never have Amanda voice anything. If I had a nickel for every “like” with upward inflection she says I wound be Scrooge Mcduck diving into a pool. Holy wow she is awful, what is interesting is her insight and notes are quite...Read full review »

Podcast should be called “Show Me The Millennial Meaning”

I use Spotify to listen to their podcast, but I love it so much I downloaded Apple podcasts just to give it a good rating.

Episodes are hit or miss, with more hits than misses, and the best ones are excellent. Also, I love the core group of guys, but the episodes with a female co-host are typically better.
