“I think these hosts genuinely have bad taste and what’s worse is that they can’t even back up their horrid takes in good faith. It feels like listening to people in high school.”

“I listen to a lot of movie podcasts, and this is one of my very faves. I love the rapport between Paul and Amy. I love that, between them both, they bring both movie loving passion and film critique expertise. I love the BTS movie tidbits I learn, and the context they place their discussions in....”Read full review »

“Paul Scheer makes inane points - he clearly has no idea as to what the parameters are for critique - if you can’t separate your personal likes and dislikes from looking at the success or failure of an artistic endeavor you make a fool of yourself and he does - listen to the Carrie episode and...”Read full review »

“Really love the podcast and hosts. The repetitiveness of the ads in episodes makes it challenging to listen. Ads are ok, I get it, but hearing the same ones over and over again in the same episode is annoying…”

“I miss when they used to do the AFI list. The movie selection lately has turned me off. I’m not sure what this podcast is anymore — love Paul and Amy though! They’re insight is always fun, and their chemistry is great!”

“Paul is really good. Amy seems disconnected from reality. Also, I listen at 2x speed but if I was listening at 1x speed I would be driven mad by Amy’s voice…the reviewers are right…”

“Really want to like this pod but often find it exhausting and dragged out by a consistent attitude of negativity/dislike of the films they watch. Every episode, I’m just waiting for the moment Amy shares her obscure critiques. Also, Amy… do you like/enjoy any of the movies you and Paul review? If...”Read full review »

“Hey. We listen for behind the scenes movie information, history and opinions. Keep the politics out of it. I’ll give it to Paul he is at least much more unbiased and carefully tows the line. But Amy, well we all know where she stands. And yet it’s a podcast about movies AND WE SHOULDN’T!”

“I love this podcast. It takes me to college film class. The Deerhunter episode does miss the mark in my opinion. The movie was not intended to be a realistic version of serving in Vietnam. It is about relationships of people who did go and didn’t go and the extreme difficulty of coming back and...”Read full review »

“These two are obnoxious. Any insightful analysis or interesting movie fact is immediately canceled by an irrelevant comment about politics/dumb country bumpkins/virtue signal. I don’t believe for one second that Amy is terrified of police (Hot Fuzz episode), but I guess it sounds good?
I’d rather...”Read full review »

“Really enjoy this show overall! I think it’s great that they have differing opinions and thoughts that they can, for the most part, civilly argue, but Paul discusses those as if they are fact a lot of the time and that is a little of a disappointment on the show. Amy’s voice is wonderful!💗...”Read full review »

“I love Paul and have been an avid HDTGM listener since just about the start. This podcast is not up to the standard set by his other show. I have nothing against Amy personally, but I have given this a fair shake and agree with others. Her voice is very difficult to listen to. Cadence is hard. I...”Read full review »

Would love a Sarah Polley film (Take This Waltz) or a Michelle Williams film (Blue Valentine) to be covered 😃
Thanks for the amazing pod.”
