“These guys know a lot about movies and it is fun listening to them about that. However, they are left wing West Coast wimpy dudes who judge movies and times based on today's standards. They are pretentious and should stick to the movies, period. And John actually said the United States was...”Read full review »

“After all these years, this is still the podcast I look forward to the most each week! The analysis, commentary, and conversation is always engaging, dropping you off further along than it picked you up. If you love film, even if you mildly enjoy film, do yourself a favor, and subscribe. You’ll...”Read full review »

“These two gentlemen do not just "review" movies; they are architects who conduct rigorous film study in each episode, scholars in the truest sense with a whole lot of heart. They have each pursued creative work in Hollywood but this may be their magnum opus. They move me in ways similar...”Read full review »

“Thank you for helping me appreciate film again, and for introducing me to so many movies that I had not allowed myself to watch (due to some religious legalism). I really love your warm, positive approach and your brotherly, respectful friendship. Keep ‘em comin’ please!”

“For their Shogun episode 1 & 2 review they spoil future plot points beyond episodes 1 & 2.
Not everyone grew up with the 1980’s Shogun or read the book.
It’s a bummer for people like me who enjoy listening to a breakdown of each episode right after watching it.”

And Tommy gets a little bit of an encore. It...”Read full review »
