“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 are quick to point out misogyny when it comes to men, they don’t always do the same with women. For instance, actresses like Tilda Swinton supported Roman Polanski (and still do, I think). There has never been a clearer case of rape and abuse of a minor than what Roman Polanski essentially admitted to. And yet, for some reason, the hosts (and others) don’t seem to have a problem with Polanski’s supporters or actors who continued to act in his films. A final note: I gave this another try. I listened to a recent review of the new Top Gun movie. There is a scene where the characters are playing football on the beach. After acknowledging that the scene had a purpose, the male host said he would have preferred if he could just watch bare chested guys and abs instead of having a scene that was improvement from the beach volleyball scene from the original. That did it for me. I’m not really sure what the point of this podcast is if not to actually review and critique movies. They don’t seem to be able to do that very well. One thing I will say is that music/ movie quotes montage in the beginning is one of my favorite parts of any podcast. Other than that, I wouldn’t waste my time.”

“Love the Spoiler Specials podcast! I have one minor note re: sound quality in the first "Serial" podcast. The fuzziness/crackling (? not sure what the right term is) of one of the hosts' microphones (Katie, I think) was very, very distracting. I enjoyed her commentary, but had to turn...”Read full review »

“I don’t like reading about a movie before I see it, preferring to engage with it afterwards, so this is essentially my dream podcast. Love host Dana Harris. All I had to do was listen to their spoiler episode on Blade Runner 2049 to be sold.”
