  • Great pod but Alyssa needs Toastmasters asap!

    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

  • One of my go-to podcasts

    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.

  • My Favorite Movie Review Podcast

    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.

  • Fun and informative

    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

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Kevin Goetz on his latest book, 'How to Score in Hollywood.'
Q: In your book, you discuss two Oscar-winning films—Bohemian Rhapsody and Fargo. What lessons should studios take away from their contrasting test results and successes?
Fargo demonstrates that a specialized, non-mainstream film can achieve massive cultural impact with strong critical support, while Bohemian Rhapsody shows that broad appeal and universal themes can drive enormous financial success; the key takeaway is to understand your audience and tailor the project to the right price point and creative alignment, rather than chasing a single metric like an A-list cast alone.
'Game of Thrones' Gets Funny
Q: What do you think about A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms?
Sunny expresses surprise at the show being delightful and charming while still maintaining the essence of the original Game of Thrones, especially noting Sir Dunk's character.
'Knives Out' Gets a Little Deeper
Q: If the Netflix deal closes, what do you think the impact will be on consumers?
The biggest impact on consumers will be whatever happens to HBO and the quality of the product that Netflix will offer due to their debt load.
Hopefully, this is Venom's 'Last Dance'
Q: Is the rise of Trump a demonstration of toxic fandom or just a more general celebrity culture problem?
The rise of Trump may reflect elements of toxic fandom but is also intertwined with a broader issue of celebrity culture that extends beyond politics.

Q: Can you talk a little bit about, I don't know, your ideas of the tension between you have moments, right? Like you have memories and memories last forever, right?
This is sort of a personal side. I was very, very close to my uncle, who died before my son was born... I think that it is challenging to talk about what it is like to be a parent.
