“not a drop of critical analysis. sean doesn't have any idea what he's talking about but thinks because he his billionaire friend started a media company, his cut-and-paste-from-former-obama-staffer-twitter opinions hold more weight than any other C-list media hack”Read full review »

“I was listening to the most recent pod 35 under 35. One the disrespect to Justice smith and his acting by Amanda was appalling especially when she hasn’t watched the things he’s been in. He’s a great actor. Two their take on Lessons in Chemistry when neither of them have watched it and the watch...”Read full review »

“I really wanted to enjoy this podcast because surprisingly there are few solid film criticism pods and the Ringer should have the resources to make one, but it felt like the hosts were rambling and did little research. They did not make any points I found thought-provoking. Also, not discussing...”Read full review »

“I’ve been listening for years but i think the beginning of the end for me was their more than kind review of the second wonder woman film; an atrocious affront to movie making. Maybe they are just too connected to the industry or worried about not getting director guests by they have just become...”Read full review »

“How can we take this pod seriously, specifically Amanda, for not being honest with her original review of promising young woman because she felt like she couldn’t- because of the topic, is the core of this podcast- can’t take them seriously- she’s insufferable
Saltburn and Civil War have...”Read full review »

“Sean and Chris are great and their love of horror is attractive. Amanda…I’m sure she’s a nice person but she’s uninformed, she’s obnoxious, talks way too much about her kid. I don’t care. And her take on Civil War is so dumb she has no credibility”

“This is the perfect podcast, but if they spent only 15 minutes talking about movies and the rest of the time talking about Cheesecake Factory, it would somehow be even better. The regional sports networks are a junta across this nation.”

“Sean has a lot of passion and is a TRUE cinephile! But AMANDA comes into EVERY episode with an agenda…..ANYTHING directed by a Woman will be a 4 Star review! And NOBODY cares that’s She had a Son…..literally She NEVER Shuts Up about being a MOM!!!!!”

“How are y’all sleeping on Problemista? Didn’t hear it in your top 10 of the year so far and was shook (I assume it’s some technically came out in 2023 nonsense!) Seems worthy of a chat on the show at the very least now that it’s been released wide. Happy to hear your other recs!”

“All I want is a thoughtful convo about the movies they promise to talk about. Why are they talking about baseball? Lately they have talked about the movie for 20mins and go on weird tangents about nothing. I did love this podcast but it’s going downhill. Please PLEASE stay on topic.”

“I used to be a REGULAR listener.

I would like to listen to a draft of movies from the 30’s, 40’s, and 50’s.
I watched a lot of black and whites as a teen and I would love to know more about them as well as ones that I should seek out.
Keep up the great...”Read full review »

“This podcast features Amanda Dobbins, the biggest, most annoying troll on the planet. She’s proudly ignorant and seems to hate movies and people.

“Simply put, she ruins this podcast. Her voice and hysterical cackle are hard enough on the ears, but worse, she doesn’t watch 90% of the films discussed. Maybe hire someone who has a broad understanding and appreciation of film? Just a thought. Unsubscribed.”
