“I’ve listened to these guys for years and I’m just kind of over their whole thing, which feels weird because these days they seem to be really hitting the gas on wanting this thing to be a media empire, when at the end of the day it’s just another group of pothead college friends talking about bad movies. A couple of them have more film chops than your average Nic Cage enjoyer so that makes some stuff more worth listening to. Guests are 90% terrible and consist primarily of their Twitter friends.
Their politics are obnoxious but they’re a bunch of manchildren so what do you expect. One of them in particular seems preoccupied with trans women so if you like me are a woman who is a strong feminist and/or greatly admires J.K. Rowling, just be aware that they despise her for standing up for women’s rights.
There are also A LOT of ads. Promos for their own live shows/events, subscriber-locked stuff on their Patreon, ad reads from the hosts themselves, outside ads inserted by their production system — ads ads ads ads. Even if you pay, you’ll still get ads on lower tiers. Each regular episode probably has 20-30 minutes of this stuff. It’s a lot for a podcast about bad movies.”
