Smart guys, but there's more cynicism than intelligence.

“I've been listening on and off for probably over a year now and that's what I've concluded. I welcome listening to different tastes, but there is one guy with a monotone voice (I don't recall his name) that's smart, but cynical. I find it bothersome becase I end up not learning anything, which is the whole point of film criticism. For example, Jay Cheel of Film Junk is more apt at critiquing a movie he may hate, but I like. He would give specific examples based on film theory, point out directors' intentions and discuss different themes from his point of view. By then, I end up respecting his views while sometimes still disagreeing with him on liking the movie. I don't always get that sense after listening to this podcast. I sometimes just end up thinking these guys sound like college educated cynics in their 20s.”

“I only listen to a few podcasts, but TFSS is easily towards the top of my list. The banter is fun & the film criticism is insightful. While discussions over "heady" films are mentally stimulating, the Batman v. Superman episode will always be my favorite, due to the hyperbolic rhetoric on both...”Read full review »

“I've been listening to this podcast since January and I've found it to be funny, smart, thoughtful, and generally grounded in thorough analysis. I feel like all of the critics give each movie a fair shot and room to breathe regardless of their personal predispositions toward the film makers. I...”Read full review »
