Great Idea For a Show
I really enjoy revisiting the films from Oscars past. I'm a pretty big film buff but even I sometimes forget about films like A Passage To India and Places in the Heart. The banter between the co-hosts is very enjoyable and I'm genuinely impressed with their diligence to watch and consider all the films nominated from each year. My only slight criticism is that sometimes they do give the films a little short shrift and don't consider them within the context of the year they were released. I don't begrudge them not enjoying a film like Atlantic City or the like, but sometimes I'm puzzled when they seem to not be able to grasp the notion of anyone liking it. Considering they seem to care enough about film to want to discover and rediscover these films, I wish they would open their minds a bit, and even when they personally don't care for a film, try to grasp and understand what the appeal might have been at the time of its release. Sorry to derail my review with complaints. My small quibbles don't hinder my enjoyment from the show. And I don't want to ruin their perfect score either, so I'll give it a qualified 5 stars and look forward to the series continuing.Read full review »

The sound quality so far is often grating, and I find Meghann to be a little bit abrasive as a personality hosting a podcast. And while they like to wax scholarly about films, I think their tastes are fairly basic. Which is fine, I’m not judging anyone for their tastes. But I do fine myself...Read full review »
