Amy = Negatibity
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 you do like one, can you at least fake excitement/joy from it. Basically, I feel like Paul is a fun and outgoing critic/reviewer of movies who finds joy in the films, with fair criticisms, and good perspectives. Amy, on the other hand, feels like she majored in 14th Century French poetry (with a minor in 1900’s Italian silent films) and somehow ended up a film critic with little ability to relate to widely enjoyed popular, modern films. Paul, love you and your crew on HDTGM, but this seems beneath your style. Amy, maybe consider drinking some wine while watching a movie you review, chill out, stop looking for deep, negative sub-texts in movie plots that aren’t there. This pod is unfortunately a GRIND to get through. It needs to be more fun, less analytical, requires more energy and each episode trimmed in regards to length. Hope you both find the right recipe because there’s potential here. Good luck!

Really enjoy the commentary on these films. Very interesting guests. I've already seen most of these movies, but I'm still eager to hear the host's takes on all of them. The Citizen Kane episode did a fantastic job at addressing a lot of the things that made it great. Can't wait for more episodes!

I generally enjoyed your explanation of how your thoughts evolved from not having see to considering it from several different angles. But ... a couple of things: Maybe I missed the joke, but do you seriously think that whether a film has had a remake is any measure of its quality? Also, just...Read full review »
