“I disagree with everything you’ve ever said and likely I will disagree with everything you ever say, Dan Kois. Except when you hate something.
Dana is mostly too generous with mainstream films and too fawning on the indie stuff, but she’s 100% right when she hates something.
This review may say...”Read full review »

“Marissa Martinelli, Inkoo Kang and Heather Schwedel — who are these people?! One has a 12yr-old voice in a cartoon, with a constant upward inflection, and another says “like” ever other word. It’s a pity because once they’ve calmed down they actually have something to say. Except that they never...”Read full review »

“Do all the hosts watch the whole movie being discussed? I listened to “Joker” and one of the hosts sounded like he was just making stuff up, he revised two major plot points that would have been very hard to miss. At least watch the whole movie if you’re going to talk about the whole thing....”

Unfortunately at the end of the first episode I saw the hosts announced that the show was going on...”Read full review »

“Please come back! I love Dana Stevens and her methodical breakdown of movies I’m too scared or busy to see but want to know all about. Guests discussions flow so well and the banter back and forth is engaging. They are currently on hiatus? (2023) and I can’t find anything comparable. Other...”Read full review »

“I am a high school English teacher. Often, I take time to proper a silly statue thing, and I call it the “Hero Award.” Anyway, Dana would undoubtedly be a repeat recipient of the “Hero Award” in my classroom for her amazing attitude, open mind, fabulous sense of humor, and self-deprecating...”Read full review »

“Four commercial breaks in a 27 minute podcast? What on earth. Also why is everyone so world weary all the time? Dana Stevens hates every movie she’s ever seen and everyone uses the word “edge lord” too much”

“Sometimes this show is really enjoyable and sometimes it is highly frustrating. Oftentimes I feel like Dana didn’t pay attention to the movie and/or do her research before reviewing and just kind of throws stuff out there that isn’t factually true or is a very “unique” interpretation of what...”Read full review »

“I’ve listened to several of the episodes. Sometimes it seems as if the hosts didn’t really watch the same movie I did, often missing key points from the movie. However, there are other times when they do catch things that tease out some profound moments. I do have one extra note: while the hosts...”Read full review »

“I have a bone to pick with Dana Stevens because it’s like she doesn’t like any of the movies she’s reviewing and only half pays attention to them. Especially with the Marvel movies, you can tell she’s not a real fan and honestly none of the reviewers on the Marvel movies are fans. Dana also has a...”Read full review »

Also, take a shot...”Read full review »

“It’s like Dana doesn’t pay attention to the movie she is reviewing. The “plot holes” she discovers are her not paying attention or her inability to infer information with what she’s been given - isn’t that the whole point of being a movie critic? The Nope review made me so angry I had to turn it...”Read full review »

“First time listener to catch Nope episode. It was cringe-worthy how the host missed obvious plot points and instead ridiculed the film for “plot holes”. Was she half-watching the film? I’m no cinema genius but even I knew the answers to the questions that befuddled her. I felt like maybe her...”Read full review »
