Not another one of those Pop Syndicate podcasts
I listened to this movie podcast for about 3 months before deciding to stop. PROS: The two hosts are not as wacky and annoying as pretty much every other Pop Syndicate movie discussion podcast. And they cover pretty interesting material. I've found out about many fine films from them. Their gentlemen shtick is mercifully underused. CONS: The guys are braindead. Their in depth reviews usually resort to reading the IMDB plot summary and then talking about the most minute and worthless of details. If you haven't seen the film, their bumbling attempts to describe, for instance, a character's shoes are totally worthless. And every movie "review" devolves into a hopelessly bad quest for social commentary in the film being reviewed. What's the point of that? To justify watching a garbage movie? Have genre fans really reached the point where the visceral thrill of what's on screen is not enough? I listen to plenty of other podcasts. But this one stands out of as the most syntactically challenged I've ever heard. I actually became less articulate and more muckle mouthed after listening to it. Other than their lack of ability when it comes to discussing movies intelligently, my other major gripe would be the length of the show. Luckily, most of the usually ~2 hour run time is prank calls and fanboys calling at the end. So, if you're just interested in the movie discussion, then you can stop listening once that is done. CONCLUSION: I think when looking for a movie podcast, anything under the Pop Syndicate banner should be avoided. While not as bad as Cinema Diabolica or Night of the Living Podcast, GGTMC is pretty miserable.Read full review »

Of all the shows I've ever listened to since finding podcasts this is #1 for me. Can't say enough good things about the hosts and the guest hosts of GGTMC and the amazing feedback community that's formed around this and other former popsindicate and palavr shows.

These guys are tilling a corner of cult film which is generally ignored. These guys are accessible and give attention beyond the buzzclip soundbite. Opposed to many cult podcasts, they bring up movies I never heard of. I give 'em a listen every week.
