“FYI - I am a listener who wants a podcast that doesn’t take long to get to the point. I actively listen to them and don’t just use them as background noise. I mention this bc I recognize that this is primarily why I’m giving this show a 3-star rating.
I didn’t hate the episode I listened to (American Pie), but I won’t be following this show. I listen to What Went Wrong, a movie podcast about what went wrong (and right) during the production of popular movies, and I love it, so I’ve been trying to find similar movie podcasts.
This is a group of guys that have solid chemistry that seem to have decided to start recording their recurring movie club meeting discussions in their entirety. Their commentary has very little post-production work so seemingly EVERYTHING is left in the episode, and it just drags on. But it doesn’t help that it takes 20 minutes for them to actually start discussing the movie they’re supposed to talking about. The discussions are mostly just each guys’ opinion on the movie, scenes, and characters.
You might like this podcast if you just want some background noise that you can ignore, and zone in and out. They have some funny discussions, but I’m looking for less meandering opinions and more insights into how a movie was made or little nuggets about it to help me appreciate a movie even more than I already do. This show is not for me, but can see why these guys have an audience.”
