“When they’re in their wheelhouse, it’s a great listen. Certain movies are just a great fit for them to review, but if they happen to not like a movie, boy, do they pout and nag. I think there’s this balance that movie podcasts need to adhere to, in regards to opinion and information. And often,...”Read full review »

“I found this show while wanting to take a deep dive on a particular title, and found it an enjoyable enough listen that I’m working my way through their back catalog of episodes. Bev is ostensibly the sidekick but she really makes the show a worth listening to. She’s witty and knowledgeable and...”Read full review »

“Knew I'd stumbled into a twitch-leftist podcast when heroes of 'Once Upon a Time in the West' (Harmonica, Sergio Leone) were derided for Harmonica 'me-too-ing' Jill, forcefully ripping her sleeves and tearing off her collar.
Attention, childlike floaters [spoilers]: Harmonica...”Read full review »

“It feels like I have wandered in the desert of movie review sites for years since the death of Roger Ebert.
Every time I think I have found a comfy place to hear and share thoughts on movies some genre or trend emerges that leads me to ask myself “what did I ever see in you “
After finding and...”Read full review »

“Absolutely love the podcast. My companion for the entire AFI thank you!! I know you two don't seem to be a fan of Terrance Malick but i think it would be interesting to hear you guys talk about a movie that maybe neither of you two really like so please do any one of his films as he is one of...”Read full review »

“Bev and Ryan are so smart and funny. I stumbled upon this years ago when the Heathers episode came out. Bev and I agree, that movie is amazing. I have been hooked ever since. I have even gone back and listened to some more than once. If I could wish one wish for a future review it would be for...”Read full review »

“You two clearly have the best marriage. Not only do you get along but you make each other laugh. That said it’s your reviews that are the star of each show. They are really good and informative. Last year you did your favorite comedies. You need to repeat that format for other categories....”Read full review »

““Jarring missteps in my opinion.” Thanks for adding that last part otherwise I would have taken it as objective truth. That’s how you began your discussion of one of the greatest movies ever made. Right after that I turned you off and removed the podcast from my library. Bye Felicia.”

“Husband and wife team review movies. Unfortunately their commentary is quite shallow. They apply their narrow personal perspective to every film and seem unable to take a step back and see the bigger picture (pun intended), particularly the wife. They view older films strictly through a modern...”Read full review »
