On this week’s episode, we discuss the killing of the Buffy the Vampire Slayer reboot, which was unexpectedly spiked by Hulu after several months of dawdling. Then we reviewed Project Hail Mary, a movie Peter describes as “preposterously charming.” I... more
Sonny here. So, as I mentioned at the top of this episode—and as I warned you last week—this week is kind of a nightmare for all of us. Lots going on: I was out of the country; Alyssa was starting a new job; Peter was on the West Coast. So it took us... more
On this week’s episode, I’m very pleased to be rejoined by Kevin Goetz, who is the guru of movie testing to discuss his latest book, How to Score in Hollywood. When you spend nine figures on a film and another eight figures marketing it, you want to ... more
On this week’s episode, we discuss the silly kerfuffle surrounding Timothee Chalamet’s statement that he hopes movies don’t become a niche entertainment like opera and ballet. Then we review The Bride!, a movie that might force us to create a Madame ... more

I think this podcast is really great and everyone is so smart, but listening to Alyssa is tedious. You stop counting after awhile how many
“You know “
“Like “
“Um”
“So “
“Right”?
It’s so aggravating and annoying . I suggest some vocal teasing and Toastmasters to learn professional public speaking. Just my humble opinion.
Keep up the good work
Intelligent discussion about movies and the entertainment industry and culture more generally, from three hosts with different perspectives and interests, but with a nice rapport among themselves.
I love Peter and his perspective, but if he doesn’t learn how to use his mute button while slurping during the podcast I may have to start an online revolt to have him removed from the show and replaced with a bot that shares all of his opinions. Seriously Peter, don’t make us find our digital pitchforks, because we love you.
A must-listen. I learn so much - I get introduced to movies and aspects of the industry I didn’t know about, and get opinions about movies I have seen and want to learn more about. I go to lots of movies, something few others do these days, and this podcast (and its companion, The Bulwark Goes To Hollywood) gives me the kind of movie conversation I like but have trouble finding in real life. The hosts share my love of movies and inspire me to see more. I really value their knowledge and distinct... more

Three critics with distinct ideological lenses discuss films and the surrounding industry chatter, offering sharp, opinionated debates that blend movie reviews with timely industry and cultural analysis. Episodes cover big studio moves, tech-driven storytelling, and the social and political undercurrents in contemporary cinema, often mixing spoiler-filled reviews with broader conversations about governance, media power, and fan culture. The trio's chemistry—ranging from cordial to contrarian—helps listeners get multiple angles on both popular releases and the business of Hollywood. Notable strengths include thoughtful cross-ideological dialogue, clear expertise in film history and industry dynamics, and a willingness to push back when opini... more
