Happy 500th episode Ryan and Bev!!!
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 thoroughly enjoying THE TOP 100 PROJECT during COVOD, I now feel like I have a place to call home where I can take a load off and listen to thoughtful movie commentary that gels with my sensibilities. Bev and Ryan magically balance the scales between artistic insights and practical entertainment - that’s no easy job and they are masterful at it. As important, is their entertaining curation of each episode. Each of them prepare for an episode that maximizes the discussion without being stilted. The basic design of the show cleverly moves the conversation along in a spirited and never cumbersome way. IN A NUTSHELL, awards & recognitions and Ryan’s aspect ratio comments really offer helpful insight for a devout movie fan like me that doesn’t possess the the critical technical knowledge of film. The mere fact that they include comments in each episode about the score alone elevates their show above 98% of all other movie criticism podcasts. Finally and most importantly for me:: I have finally found in Bev my movie soul mate. She forthrightly understands the need for movies to be art. We agree on nearly every artistic aspect of films from the development of characters and dialogue to the use of visuals and sound. It isn’t that I frequently differ from Ryan’s takes on movies but to say I never disagree with Bev’s reviews. Bev has confirmed so many of my thoughts on films that I previously thought I held alone. Better yet, she has pointed out scores of elements that I missed and end up adding depth to my sentiments and to the film. A Big Thanks to Bev! All of this is to say: Happy 500th Episode!!!! To everyone out there searching for a podcast that will increase your appreciation of films through out history , this is the podcast for you. Not a single clunker in the 500 episodes. Great thanks from a big fan. John

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 »

This is my favorite podcast and I always listen to it after watching a film. They always point out things I didn’t pick up and i love Bev’s insights into editing and how Ryan can remember everything (especially when it comes to the oscars). I appreciate how they can disagree with each other and...Read full review »
